Verse
G#m F#
As I run through this life
G#m F#
Sometimes it breaks my heart
G#m F#
Seein' old people goin' downtown
G#m F#
Stumblin' their way through the dark
G#m F#
And the little babies cry
G#m F#
For their mothers' warmth
G#m F#
Sometimes I feel so helpless
G#m F#
I don't know where to start
Chorus
E
And the face of the nation
F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
E
The face of the nation
F#
I don't recognize it no more
G#m E F#
The face of the nation
G#m E F#
The face of the nation

So many lonely people

Damn those broken dreams

Oh yes it could be better

You can say that about anything

Some got it worse than me
G#m F#
Some got it worse than you

You see the people starvin' underneath the tree
G#m F#
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule

If only for me and you

Cause the devil sleeps tonight
