The Face Of The Nation
Mellencamp John Cougar

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

CHORUS

And the face of the nation

Keeps changin' and changin'

The face of the nation

I don't recognize it no more

The face of the nation

The face of the nation

So many lonely people

Damn those broken dreams

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

CHORUS

You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin'

To put things right

If only for me and you

Cause the devil sleeps tonight

CHORUS
