14 - Lying for Change

Insides are rattling
Sweat seeps through my skin
I feel so passionate
I'm not so sure where to begin
I know I can make a difference
Bring some structure to their crumbling faces
But who's gonna listen?
They ask you for a donation
A deposit to their betterment
But I get no satisfaction out of empty promises
I'm hands on, like my hands on the wood that builds your shelter
Like my hands holding the spoon to your baby's mouth
But things will never change, it's made too hard to help
Ill keep throwing my coins in the fountain
You'll keep lying for change.
