about
An expression of compassion for the misbegotten. And a plea to consider them as important as one's self.
This song closes with a spoken rant. It was a new form of expression for me, and one I have re-visited on "Tough Guy" from my "Diamonds In The Litter Box" CD.
lyrics
Easy Street
Denes McIntosh
There's a woman out there weepin'
there's a man who ain't been home
there's a kid who runs away without a warning'.
There's a drifter in a doorway sleepin'
there's a child left all alone
there's a stranger on the back row Sunday morning'.
Chorus:
They're somebody
same as you and me
and everyone is lookin' to be loved
they've got worth
beyond what we can see
living self indulgently on Easy Street.
There's a junkie in the street
the less fortunate you meet
there's a hooker scraping' dollars off the bottom.
There's a prisoner counting' time
there's the sad and lonely lives
of the many who have all but been forgotten.
Chorus:
Spoken:
Some say the hardship has been over for awhile, that everyone's O.K. now just cause they are. But recently I heard the screaming, the weeping. I've seen the bleeding hearts and tormented minds of those that justice shit on. They're left to reconstruct their trampled lives alone, to mend their broken hopes and battered dreams without the help of those who at one time seemed to care, somewhere back before the sky fell in. But where are all the friends of the unfortunate now? Have they run to houses on secluded hillsides to hide from the discomfort of their past participation in the pain? Well, the cause goes on without them, but it's crippled. . . . . . . like the victims it embraces. How easy we forget.
