lirik lagu mercyland - waiting for the garbage can
well, it might be in bensonhurst
or it might be in central park
and you could be jogging
or looking for a used car
and who is to condemn
and refer back to whoever’s own mayhem
and who is to be believed
hypocrites or enlightened thieves
but yusef hawkins is not on the cover of people magazine
there is no clever term to describe what his friends have seen
and his family wonders why they should regard with love
men who beat and shot their lives to shards
we were waiting for the garbage can
to break the window of every honest white man
but ten and behold
who is it that retains history’s chokehold?
and who has any answers to convey?
streets of fact or books of hearsay
is a double standard inevitable
when you don’t have much to give the tax base
how deep does disgust strike in a heart
when a race exterminates all that it has started
and when they diversify
watch the hysteria fly
and when you see the whiite kids in the street
are your hands in your pocket?
is there a spring in your feet?
do the angry mobs want more?
since they all had to store
all their dirty words
does anything ever change?
not in my neighborhood
