Lyrics of Sweat

It's midnight the clock on the wall strikes twelve
My adrenaline flows like someone opened a valve
My thoughts are too many, too many to ponder
As I rise from my sleep and begin to wander
Into the street so cold so cold but yet
Every time I do it makes me sweat

I see indifference and injustice in so many places
I see despair and confusion on so many faces
Scores of children with no shoes on their feet
As they cry out please give us something to eat
Everytime I think about it, it makes me sweat.

Our leaders say vote for us and we'll make things right. Ha.
But after we do they're nowhere, nowhere, nowhere in sight
Their promises hollow ya sure you bet
Listening to their lies makes me sweat
Oh, yes it does. Oh yes it does.

It takes time and patience to learn how to forget
But even if I did I would soon regret
I want to change the world but I can only fret
It makes me sad so sad that it makes me sweat
Oh, oh does it ever. Oh yea.

I'm only one man but yet, yet
I'm ready to roll up my sleeves
I'm ready to sweat. Oh yea.
