Ray LaMontagne - How Come Lyrics

Complimentary "How Come" Ringtone

People on the street now 
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You can 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 crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics till he 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
How come 
all I see 
is a child of god 
in misery 
I said how come the pistol now as profit
The bullet some kind of lord and king
But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going to bring
Love can be a liar
And justice can be a thief
And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink
I said how come 
I can't tell 
the free world 
from living hell
I said how come
How come 
all i see 
is a child of god 
in misery
I said how come
Its just man killing man 
Killing man
Killing man 
Killing man
Killing man
I don't understand
Its just man killing man
