Strong Wind
written by Mark Marchetti

Politicians wash their hands more times than Pontius Pilate
They crucify the common man and smile as they deny it
Bodies lay out on the street like posters on the ground
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down

Smack and crack and LSD and drug store pain relievers
numb the harsh reality of us broken down believer's
I guess there's not enough love in this world to go around
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down

Million dollar bonus baby's swinging for the bleachers
Rock stars ride in limousines making more than teachers
Money shouts obscenities as sinking families drown
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down

Father's sleep with daughters, sleep with mothers, sleep with sons
Sometimes I think that everybody sleeps with everyone
Sodom and Gomorrah, Peyton Place in your hometown
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down

Reds don't trust the whites don't trust the blues don't trust each other
It goes around and comes around to brother against brother
Way off in the distance I can hear a lonesome sound
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down
I've got a feeling that a strong wind could blow this whole place down
