We too like too many others, could be dead
What is the answer to you
And at the same time have to fight for your name
May you never be the scapegoat for a whole world full of shame
Who will tell the story
May you never be fighting for your life
And all we can say is, it's gonna be all right
I'm hungry and I have AIDS
What if that's true, what are you going to do?
When on every corner
And our actions will define us
And what will they say?
Someone holds a sign that says I'm homeless
And all we can say is, it's gonna be all right
Will they say the victims were thought of as criminals
Before a single definition can be said
Pregnancy, HIV, may you never be the receptacle of blame
Yeah, so what if god is testing us
And I am looking forward to looking back on these days
Tell me, which is the crime?
May you never test positive
How will they define our generation
Ticking off statistics in their spare time
Whether from the point of a needle or the edge of our beds
When on every corner
There are too few who open both eyes
And I am looking forward to looking back on these days
And now you are looking over
While the guilty sat on high deciding their fate
He has brought you the edges of your life
Death has been your lover
Someone holds a sign that says I am homeless
We sit back in our easy chairs and we try to sympathize
And now you are looking over
In the coming decades
