What has happened to our town?
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars
And kids run numbers out of bars, hey
Knowing pride won't pay the bills
Men work jobs beneath their skillsm, yeah
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
We could stop the hurtin'
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop it for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop
We could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop
We could stop
We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop
We could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for a while
We could stop it for a while
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop
We could stop
