While My City Gently Weeps

from Etiqutte of the Unjust and Righteous by The Guillotines

/

lyrics

Every 8 minutes a child becomes homeless
How can this world be so fucking heartless
How do you sleep knowing with kids out in the cold
Now Their futures are bought and fucking sold
Every child should have a place to lay their head
Instead their lives are hanging by a thread
How can we just ignore their plight
When they’re right there in plain fucking sight

While my city gently weeps
Someone else dies in their sleep
Frozen to death out on the streets
Again
They die all alone
through no fault of their own
With nowhere to call a home
They meet their end

They fought for this country and saw their friends die
Now out on the street, alone is where they lie
They answered your call now please heed theirs
Give them the help to lift them from despair
Sent off to war then you abandoned them
Left out to freeze, their lives you condemn
How can we just ignore their plight
When they’re right there in plain fucking sight
