One Man Board Of Directors Lyrics & Chords By The Broadways

My friend can't go home no more
I guess that's what happens when you're too poor
To be a good kids with good clothes in a bad neighbourhood
That's no good, when pride makes you a traitor to your kind
When his brother was murdered a year ago
It was the same as it is now
As it is now
There's no witness relocation plans for those in slums
I know because my friend could sure use one
Third grade brothers and sisters threatened by grown men
Grown men stand outside while families slowly died, they tried
To talk to Edwin Eisendrath, the chairman of the C.H.A.
He can't find a way to keep one family safe
Nothing's that important to me
Nothing's that important to me
You too sit by the phone waiting for that special girl to call
I used to forget to go on when my days got too long
I've felt really scared but it always went away
It doesn't always go away
