She was born at six am
On New Year's Day
In an alley, right at the heart of
Where the homeless children play
And the truth is
that we will never even know our names
Cause as long as we can fill our glasses up
We will look the other way
And its not that far from here
to New Orleans
Where the seemingly forgotten
People are still foreclosing on their dreams
And we just a**ume keep on staring at the tv screen
While this world she bleeds to death
Like some romantic....movie
Oh my god
This is insane
How'd it get like this
Or has it always been this way
Oh my God
Im so ashamed
And we tried to close our eyes
And make this go away
SOLO
We sit in our high rise apartments and complain
about things that dont matter
And we race through this life just to see who can die
With as much as we can gather
And few a few blocks away
A teenage mother plays Russian roulette with her daughter
Is this the best that we can do
Is this the best that we can do
Oh my god
This is insane
How'd it get like this
Or has it always been this way
Oh my God
Im so ashamed
Yeah we close our eyes
to make this go away
We just turn......away
