lyrics

Please Be Kind

I heard a lot of people talk
about him in the past tense
And I can tell you true he’s still alive
And out among the ruins
he plays out his little war dance
The things a man’ll do just to survive

Please be kind to my friend there, he’s in trouble
He wears this world on the sleeve of his coat
Please be kind to my friend there, he’s in trouble
You push him too hard, somebody gets hurt

I don’t know a single soul
who ain’t stood in his corner
Fighting with their backs against the wall
Throwing punches at the silhouettes
like they were guards along some border
Those shadows ain’t your enemies at all

Maybe you know someone
who got lost along the way
Lord they’re trying to get back home
through these strange and crazy days
Send a little providence, send a little peace
Forget about the payback or the circumstance
that’s some other man’s machine
