People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat
You can see it in their eyes
I said how come
How come
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody on this old jet plane
Crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics
Till they got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin
I said how come I can't tell
The free world from living hell
I said how come
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat
You can see it in their eyes
I said how come
How come
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody on this old jet plane
Crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics
Till they got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin
I said how come I can't tell
The free world from living hell
I said how come
