As I run through this life Sometimes it breaks my heart Seein' old people goin' downtown Stumblin' their way through the dark And the little babies cry For their mothers' warmth Sometimes I feel so helpless I don't know where to start
And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' I don't recognize it no more
Oh yes it could be better You can say that about anything Some got it worse than me Some got it worse than you You see the people starvin' underneath the tree And you wonder what happened to the golden rule
And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' I don't recognize it no more
You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin' Cause the devil sleeps tonight
And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' I don't recognize it no more
And the face of the nation Keeps changin' and changin' I don't recognize it no more More from John Mellencamp
