While My City Gently Weeps Lyrics

Every 8 minutes a child becomes homeless

How can this world be so fucking heartless

How do you sleep knowing with kids out in the cold

Now Their futures are bought and fucking sold

Every child should have a place to lay their head

Instead their lives are hanging by a thread

How can we just ignore their plight

When they’re right there in plain fucking sight

While my city gently weeps

Someone else dies in their sleep

Frozen to death out on the streets

Again

They die all alone

through no fault of their own

With nowhere to call a home

They meet their end

They fought for this country and saw their friends die

Now out on the street, alone is where they lie

They answered your call now please heed theirs

Give them the help to lift them from despair

Sent off to war then you abandoned them

Left out to freeze, their lives you condemn

How can we just ignore their plight

When they’re right there in plain fucking sight
