All Along Plaintive Streets

Battlefield for a strange glory
Starting a war for money
If scorn becomes your master
You'll be heading for disaster

Oh tell me when we'll stare
At the same mirror
And won't look down on anymore
When we'll stare at the same mirror

All along plaintive streets
Misery is lamenting
How could I be impassive
I can not be insensitive
Along plaintive streets

Witness standing on the corner
You're stuck for an answer
Crucial crossroads
Settling old scores
A hail of bullets silencing some words

All along plaintive streets
Misery is lamenting
How could I be impassive
I cannot be insensitive
Along crying streets
It is no use hiding from the reality
Along plaintive streets

When will that worn-out man rest?
And eat his fill taking the best?
Where will that girl get a shelter?
Violence 'n drugs have wrecked her sister

Indignation
In the face of discrimination
Desolation
And tears of compassion
Indifference
Too many things don't make sense

Along plaintive streets
Misery is lamenting
How could I be impassive
I cannot be insensitive
Along crying streets

Along plaintive streets
Misery is lamenting
How could I be impassive
I can not be insentitive
Along crying streets

Along plaintive streets
Along plaintive streets
Along plaintive streets
