The face of poverty
[verse]
I’m but a face in the crowd;
A voice that nobody hears.
I’m screaming but there’s silence.
People ignore that I'm here.
[pre chorus]
Nobody cares that I’m lonely
they don’t notice my tears.
They see me but they dismiss me;
out of their doubt and fear.
chorus
I am the face, I am the face
the face of poverty.
[verse]
They think I want a handout;
say I’m too lazy to work.
They tell me, go take a bath.
They don’t see that their words hurt.
[pre chorus]
Nobody cares that I’m hungry.
no one cares that I’m cold.
They see me but they ignore me;
poke fun of my tattered clothes—
Don’t you see, don’t you see—
[chorus]
I’m am the face, I am the face.
The face of poverty.
[bridge]
The war left me with PTSD.
I have a mental disease.
Does anyone really care to know;
What tragedy befell me?
[verse]
I am by a face in the crowd;
a voice that nobody hears.
I’m screaming but there’s silence.
People ignore that I’m here.
[pre chorus]
Nobody cares that I’m lonely.
They don’t notice my tears.
They see me but they dismiss me
out of their doubt and fear.
[chorus]
I am the face, I am the face;
the face of poverty.
[tag]
I’m a society’s tragedy.
[Instrumental outro]
