Saw an old man Working at CVS I bet his bones ache I know the sight of the man Made my heart break Saw a kid on the way home Sitting alone He had a nose leaking blood And arms crossed Not to let anyone in Cause I bet he was scared that **** would happen again Got home turned on the telly Two sides going at it quite heavy But neither stand for me They never did stand for me. Wife comes home her feet Are beaten up the shifts Are piling up I feel wild in love Bite through barbed wire for those I love But it's not enough Empathy I watch those around me Pushed down But they get up If my cups full I'd give half to you Enjoy that half Its not a gift It's what you're supposed to do.
