Lyrics

An overpass and a cardboard sign
Is weighing mighty heavy on this heart of mine
A worn out hoodie and a small bag of things
With no guarantee of what the morning might bring
There’s madness on the streets

There’s madness on the streets
I can see it everywhere
And I don’t know how to help
That doesn’t mean that I don’t care
As madness fills the air

Fresh needle tracks on a strung out teen
Needing like hell someone to intervene
Here comes the withdrawals, she’s about to get sick
She’ll do whatever it takes to get her next fix
There’s madness on the streets

There’s madness on the streets
I can see it everywhere
And I don’t know how to help
That doesn’t mean that I don’t care
As madness feels the air

A young man begs for something to eat
A homeless gal is attacked in her sleep.
Oh! oh! oh! Stop this madness on the streets

There’s madness on the streets I can see it everywhere
And I don’t know how to help
That doesn’t mean that I don’t care
As madness feels the air
There’s madness and sadness and badness in the air
