Can you show me how not to feel
I've been stumbling through these city streets, with the devil at my heel
Can you show me how not to feel
I wanna heart of steel
Would you love me, as poor as I am
I ain’t got no place to call my own, I ain't got no job or plan
Can you help me, like I helped you
Before it all fell through
CHORUS
Can you finally see, how much we need community
We'll ignore economies, and become a family
Greed is a disease, greed is never pleased
All these people, they don’t feel a thing
They don't care about their fellow man
They don't care about their sins
If all these people felt like we do
This whole world could be brand new
CHORUS
Would you love me, either way, yeh
Would you help me through the day, yeh
And if I lost everything, yeh
Would you take me under wing, yeh
Well we need community, yeh
Through the hard times, us it sees, yeh
When we don't have much money, yeh
We rely on people's deeds, yeh
Our strength will be our unity
[In liner notes, but not in album version:]
Good deeds, they have nobility, and the ability to sow so so many good seeds
If we have unity within a tight-knit community in times of need
We can face down anything thrown at us by the soulless faceless parasitic men of greed
I'm speaking the truth
I've seen it
