Windows
Hold my hand as we watch this strange world
From behind a cold, glass window.
Play voyeur to reality and exist in a hazy limbo.
Baby, this world is ugly, but what can we do?
Arms coiled around me in the back seat of my car, I know it hurts you too
To see pain and destruction,
Inequality and corruption,
Pass by our windows with no interruption.
It's all around us every second of everyday.
No healthcare for a family with little ones
If they can't make the pay.
War on the TV set,
Murder on the internet,
Close enough to be seen
But when we reach out to touch-
There's nothing but a cold, glass screen.
So we get out from behind
