Long Hard Look
This is the way things looked to me…25 years ago
Long Hard Look
Friend I’ve got to tell you I never thought I’d say
it isn’t only guns and knives we’ve got to put away
it’s the crazy rage inside us to do each other harm
and when we’ve gotten over that then we will disarm
Take a long hard look, do you like what you see?
friend it’s a reflection of you and me
take a long hard look there’s no one else to blame
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
We see our people crying and dying in the streets
we feel the pain and hopelessness the violence so deep
where are all the values we once based our lives upon?
while we’re lusting for possessions babe our spirit’s been undone
Take a long hard look, do you like what you see?
friend it’s a reflection of you and me
take a long hard look there’s no one else to blame
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
Look at all the leaders we choose to stand behind
who lie and break their promises then go and rob us blind
it’s such a sad reminder of the fools we have become
and if we’re to survive it’ll take more than a gun
It’ll take a long hard look, do you like what you see?
friend it’s a reflection of you and me
take a long hard look there’s no one else to blame
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
we’re the ones who chose to play this dead end game
