One Man Board Of Directors Lyrics

My friend can't go home no more.

I guess that's what happens when you're too poor

to be a good kid in good clothes in a

bad neighborhood that's no good,

where pride makes you a traitor to your kind.

When his brother was murdered a year ago,

it was the same as it is now.



There's no witness relocation plans for those in slums.

I know, because my friend could sure use one.

Third-grade brothers and sisters threatened by grown men,

who stand outside while families slowly died. They tried



to talk to Edwin Eisendrath,

but the chairman of the C.H.A. can't find a way

to keep one family safe.



"Nothing's that important to me."



You two sit by the phone

waiting for that special girl to call.

I used to forget to go on

when my days got too long.

I feel really scared,

but it always wears away.

It doesn't always go away.
