Love Lives On My Street

A man's life, God took away in the city today
They say but never tell how many's been born
Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake
But not the many lives he's saved before
Show us starvin' kids from expensive lenses
On a far and distant shore
Of which, when sold, could feed a good few
Hey mister rich, why don't you help the poor?

Bad news, sad news, never no good news
So they're pretending
Make a child believe that there ain't no love
Well hey, love lives on my street

Love is you, love is me
Love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all you want
But there's a heart in every seed

Love is you, love is me
Love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all you want
But there's a heart in every seed

Back up from the crap and the desert of dyin' sons
Me, I'm tryin' to come to terms and learn a one
Way to display the way I'm feelin'
I need healin' from the floor to the ceilin'
But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by
Yo gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces
Iron out the creases
Find out what peace is

Love is you
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Yes zip up your front
And sing
