End Of The Street

---
Who's talking bout what these days
who knows
everybody's going on bout something that's neither
on what's going on in the world
or anything else that would seriously matter

He says she says everybody wants to have a say
but what are they really all about
it seems that they could all just be hypocrites
cause nobody really actually gives a shit

In the middle of the afternoon
that's when you look up in the sky
and the sun is in your eye
everything's not really what it seems to be
you need to blink back reality
back to the way that it used to be

When the world was a much better place you see
came the greedy man took it all into his hands
made a quick buck built a castle in the sand
now he's living with his mess and lives in sweet pretence

Huh hah news buzz live telecast all around the world
people listening in from different scenes
in the wake of the demise of the world that we're living in
it's just like another one of those

Pretty little pictures hanging on the wall
take one down another dozen gets placed
right where a space would let it be
it's not really that easy to be rid of social animosity

What is the matter with the world today
everybody's going bout like there's no other way
there will never be a better day
with the looks of the way that everybody's going on
that's why I wrote this song
---

I don't believe that this is how it all ends
could we hope for someone to wake up
and make it all better again
there's a rainbow at the end of the street
it just takes one little deed
to get us all on our feet

Is this the right time or place
to be preaching bout how I think things should be
everywhere I go it's always just the same
do you still remember from where you came
growing up trying to understand

Go to school read a book
always concerned bout looks and the things that I took
teacher hand me a lesson
teach me to be a better person
so I can pass it along to to my kids
we can make it happen

There's a lot more concerns
that we as a community could come hand in hand
yeah united we stand
so listen up let's start working together
to make this a way much better place for each other

Wouldn't be fair to imply or justify
on the equal responsibility we should comply
as a resident of the world
yeah man a resident c'mon now
take up your banner and don't ask why

How much more time do you think we still have left
before the suddenly tragic rears it's ugly self
is there anyone out there than can truly say
that everything is gonna be just ok

I would like to be the very man who makes a stand
comes up with a masterplan for the better of this land
but then again I am just who I am
anytime you need a hand just say where and when

What is the matter with the world today
everybody's going about like there's no other way
there will never be a better day
with the looks of the way that everybody's going on
that's why I wrote this song
---

I don't believe that this is how it all ends
could we hope for someone to wake up
and make it all better again
there's a rainbow at the end of the street
it just takes one little deed
to get us back on our feet
