Wake up little girl Where is your mom? Where is your home little girl? Where are you from? Why are your clothes so bad? Why aren't you in school? Where is your dad little girl? Say he left before you were two The world should look in your eyes And see that it's you Fightin' and hurtin' And then sayin' there's nothing they can do Oh wipe your eyes little girl No don't you cry The government said they'd help But we know that they lie Friends of mine say things never change Say they never have This time things have gotta change Cause your life can't stay that bad You're a derelict, they say as they raise their fist I wish they would realize you didn't ask to be, ask to be born like this Yeah this country's so great We got money to pay for the president's aides ?.... plain shoes If you look at your feet, you see those you could use The world should look in your eyes And see that it's you Fightin' and hurtin' And then sayin' there's nothing they can do Homeless, homeless The moonlight resting on a midnight lake We are homeless, homeless The moonlight resting on a midnight lake We are homeless, homeless The moonlight resting on a midnight lake We are homeless, homeless The moonlight resting on a midnight lake We are homeless, homeless The moonlight resting on a midnight lake
