John Mellencamp The Face Of The Nation
As I run through this life Sometimes it breaks my heart Seein' old people goin' downtown Stumblin' their way through the dark And the little babies cry For their mothers' warmth Sometimes I feel so helpless I don't know where to start CHORUS And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' The face of the nation I don't recognize it no more The face of the nation The face of the nation So many lonely people Damn those broken dreams Oh yes it could be better You can say that about anything Some got it worse than me Some got it worse than you You see the people starvin' underneath the tree And you wonder what happened to the golden rule CHORUS You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin' To put things right If only for me and you Cause the devil sleeps tonight CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
