Babies sleeping at your feet
Not everybody has had enough to eat
And we're trying to reconcile the thieves
Sleeping among us
Counting up the schemes, while we're
Just gettin by
On our meager means
Its clear
We live in fear
Oh little baby
Wheres your mommy
Shes got hungry mouths shes trying to feed
Oh little baby
Wheres your daddy
Hes breaking his back all day
Nobody said it has to
Has to be fair
Just gettin by
On a wing and a prayer
Always begging
On our knees
We like to think we are
Making change
Yet every day we lack basic exchange
Deprived
Of our needs
Oh little baby
Wheres your mommy
Shes worried about mouths she needs to feed
Oh little baby
Wheres your daddy
Hes trying just to make it one more day
