People on the street now   Faces long and grim   Souls are feeling heavy   And faith is growing thin   Fears are getting stronger   You can Feel them on the rise   Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes   I said how come   How come   Everybody on a shoestring   Everybody in a hole   Everybody crossing their fingers and toes   Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned   Everybody trying to reach out to each other   But they don't know where to begin   I said how come   I can't tell   the free world   from living hell   I said how come   How come   all I see   is a child of god   in misery   I said how come the pistol now as profit   The bullet some kind of lord and king   But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going to bring   Love can be a liar   And justice can be a thief   And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink   I said how come   I can't tell   the free world   from living hell   I said how come   How come   all i see   is a child of god   in misery   I said how come   Its just man killing man   Killing man   Killing man   Killing man   Killing man   I don't understand   Its just man killing man
