+++++++++++++

Come on out tonight

Watch the stars a shining

Above the tear gas in the streets

The children a crying

Add to the sense of Reality

••

All the angels in the sky

The scattered hopes and dreams

The hardness in the policeman's eyes

Tell from where his orders came

••

And the uselessness of all our faith



Lovers drift off to the alleyways

Where yesterday's memories rot away

You can sit in solitude

But you can't sit        In peace

Tell your stories of ancient gods

••

But they don't mean a thing

••

If you want to create a world

First you have to die

Then you will have nothing to fear

Cept the sight of the hungry child

Which shall scar your mind

.//-

Open up your heart

You don't need no faith

All you want is the real pride

In pure human decency

••

As the stars they shine

Up above the tear gassed streets
