Martin Valins - Watching This World Lyrics

Take me back to the heartland
Away from this desert of deceit
Feels like 1930
From the people that I meet

I'm just looking for the answer
Im looking for the sign
We're in trouble
If we don't get this right

They wheel and deal on Wall Street
They watch those markets rise
But who gets the money
What's the cost of the lies

We don't believe what you tell us
You don't mean what you say
But one day soon
We will have our day

Watching this world go round
Where is all this heading
When will the truth be found
Have we lost our minds
An eye for an eye and we all go blind

Come on all you preachers
Come on all you priests
Just Mr. Lennon
Were only trying get some us peace

Kids are going hungry
They don't have enough to eat
But you feed the mouths
Of those you pay to cheat

So take me back to the heartland
From this desert of deceit
Feels like 1930
From the people that I meet

Im just looking for the answer
Im looking for the sign
We're in trouble
If we can't make this right
