Lyrics

(livin' on the corner of)
hope and heartbreak

i don't know ?
another year is gone
and so many wrongs remain
so it goes
there's always talk of change
but so much stays the same
i think we've lost the light
this isn't right at all
kids can't play outside
and families hide behind four walls
i don't care what you say
there's got to be a better way
than livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak
time and again
it's a game that no one wins
when we're livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak

evening news
one more stupid duel
at a public school nearby
and so you lose
'cause you stand guard
in your own front yard at night
cardboard sign, says the man will work for food
but we don't want his kind around
hangin' in our neighborhood
i don't care what you say
there's got to be a better way
than livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak
time and again
it's a game that no one wins
when we're livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak...

...tell me, what will it take
before we find a way
to help this world to heal itself
for tomorrow, for today ?
i don't care what you say
there's got to be a better way
than livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak
time and again
it's a game that no one wins
when we're livin' on the corner of
hope and heartbreak ?
lord, we can't keep
livin' on the corner of hope and heartbreak...
