That's Not the Way It Should Be - The BellRays, Tender Forever

Every now and then I get a little bit angry

with your children.

It makes me want to cry and then it make me want to be the one

who teaches them

But they just stand there looking

Like they’re at a zoo

Between you and me That’s not the way that it should be People feel guilty when they see the dead walking

through the city.

Pull a dollar from their pockets for a little tin cup

to make them go away

Well no one here’s applauding

his act of mercy.

Between you and me That’s not the way that it should be Birds of prey are diving on the field mice are running

from the war machines

Stay long enough to get a laugh

and they’re on their way again

No one stops to wonder

Where it all ends

The homeless and poor are glad to go to war

to fight for the right to be put down even more

the drugs that you buy cost to much to get us high

And the kids across the nation fight to get an education
