Lyrics
Desperate Crimes
I see you on the street, looking for a face
You don't have a job, can't afford a place
I'm peeking out the windows, locking all the doors
The smell of nervous sweat, sneaking out pores
Every body's hurting, trying to get ahead
So many have forgotten, what the good book says
It says above all others, to thine own self be true
Love your fellow man, so he can love you too
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
Hanging out the back doors, with the alley cats
Living in the gutters, fighting with the rats
Didn't used to be this way, the count down has begun
A war between the have and have-nots, time will tell who won
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
Injustice and reality, watch it on TV
People hiding in their houses, afraid to really see
I don't have the answers, and I don't have a gun
All I know is I'm scared too, I pray for everyone
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
In the hardest of times, come desperate crimes
