Hanging On The Corner

(专辑： Serenity - 2004)

We care

This is a song for my whole town

Oh my sweet, sweet Jesus Christ
Another Saturday night
And I'm hanging once again
On my private little corner of hell
Little Mikey C. just O.D'd
In the alley just a block away
Him and my little brother used to play
I watched the ambulance take him away
His mom's gonna take it hard
Cause his dad just got locked away
For 3 ta 5
For a deal he felt he had to make
For his family to survive

I know, I know
I know the world can be so cold
I know, I know
I know the world is so cold

Hanging on the corner, hey hey hey!
I got nothing to do and I got nothing to lose
Hangin, hanging on the corner, wasting away
Another wasted night, another bottle of booze, alright!

And I know that no one cares
I can see it in your empty stares
When I tell you these tales of woe
Woe
I tell you these tales of woe
Because we really care (Woe)
We care

I know, I know
I know the world can be so cold
I know, I know
I know the world is so cold

Hanging on the corner, hey hey hey!
I got nothing to do and I got nothing to lose
Hangin, hanging on the corner, wasting away
Another wasted night, another bottle of booze, alright!

Down past Hayes Square is where the wealthy dine
Where they laugh and drink fine wine
Well, two blocks over is where the Sergeant died
In a hall of fire (Here we go!) on a warm summer's night
All you forgotten in the projects (I hear ya')
All you numbers in the cell block (We care)
All you sweating in the detox (We care)
To all you hoods that are dodging cops (We care)

And to all you bleeding from a broken heart
You know you've got a brother here
You've got a brother here

Hanging on the corner, hey hey hey!
I got nothing to do and I got nothing to lose
Hangin, hanging on the corner, wasting away
Another wasted night another bottle of booze, alright!

Hanging on the corner, hey hey hey!
I got nothing to do and I got nothing to prove to you
Hanging, hangin on the corner, wasting away
I pray my luck will change some day, some day

We care
