Amen
This is a rough place to find a seat
This life is a confusion play
With conflict after conflict, day after day
Amen is all I got to say
There are people out in the alleys
There are people across this land
There's sadness across this country
With people who just don't give a damn
We continue on with the sickness
Like we have so many times before
Amen, and amen, and shut the door
You can blame it on the weather
Or simply on the day
Rough times are here to stay
There are women who have suffered
By the back of many man's hands
There are people who have disgraced themselves
Keeping their heads in the sand
And the greed of the three-piece suit
With their signatures and weapons in their hands
Say amen, and amen
That's all we got to say
This life is a confusion play
With conflict after conflict, day after day
Amen is all I got to say
There are people out in the alleys
There are people across this land
There's sadness across this country
With people who just don't give a damn
We continue on with the sickness
Like we have so many times before
Amen, and amen, and shut the door
You can blame it on the weather
Or simply on the day
Rough times are here to stay
There are women who have suffered
By the back of many man's hands
There are people who have disgraced themselves
Keeping their heads in the sand
And the greed of the three-piece suit
With their signatures and weapons in their hands
Say amen, and amen
That's all we got to say
