On Every Corner Lyrics
death
has been your lover
he has brought you
the edges of your life
and now you are looking over
and all we can say is
it's gonna be all right
and i am looking forward
to looking back on these days
when on every corner
someone holds a sign
that says i'm homeless
i'm hungry and
i have aids
how will they define our generation
in the coming decades
who will tell the story
and what will they say?
will they say the victims
were thought of as criminals
while the guilty sat on high
deciding their fate
ticking off statistics in their spare time
tell me,
which is the crime?
may you never test positive
pregnancy
hiv
may you never be the receptacle of blame
may you never be the scapegoat
for a whole
world full of shame
may you never be fighting for your life
and at the same time
have to fight for your name
there are too few who open both eyes
we sit back in our easy chairs
and we try to sympathize
whether from the point of a needle or
the edge of our beds
we too, like too many other
could be dead
our actions
will define us
before a single definition can be said
yeah, so what if god is testing us
what if that's true?
what are you going to do?
what is the answer
to you?
"death has been your lover" is such a simply perfect statement when you are in a certain mood. when you arent in that emo-mood (terrible description, i know) then ur like "wow, okay" but then when u are in that mood it makes me cry
wow..this song makes me cry. it's so sad..maybe because its the truth. we look down upon those who are less fortunate..we do not open our eyes and realize that so many are suffering...this generation is a joke...people no longer care about anything other than themselves & the government couldn't care less as well..im not sure what the exact meaning of this song is [the meaning ani intended], but it makes you think
