Standing On The Corner Of The Third World

Man, I never slept so hard I never dreamt so well Dreaming, I was safe in life Like mussels in a shell Rolling and controlling all the basements And the backroads of our lives Fill their dreams with big fast cars Fill their heads with sand Holy white, we'll paint that town The color of our flag Hey, there little lady, has your baby Got the look of some old man? Standing on the corner of the third world Hungry men will close their minds Ideas are not their food Notions fall on stony ground Where passions are subdued Color all the madness for the madness Is the thorn that's in our side Standing on the corner of the third world Of the third world, of the third world Of the third world, of the third world Of the third world, of the third world When we gonna learn? Who we gonna turn to? The promises they make The call for attention Compassion is the fashion Free to earn, our pockets burn We buy for love Die for love Hold me, I'm crying Hold me, I'm dying
