Behind

Now that we really drink to the beggars on the street

There is no mercy for this late defeat

No health care for the poor

And no pardon for the rich

 

I’ve thought of killing myself so many times

I’ve cut the glass and drank the wine

I’ve stood below and stood behind

 

No where to find a face

No dug-out trace

Like a hunted child, with nothing left behind
