With someone by the phone waiting for their call
Those in the front walk far too far
For the man at the top feeling safe and sound

When you gonna come to real of the thing
That it hurts when you act like you notice this?
When you gonna come to real of the thing
That it hurts when you act like you notice this?

Now now, no crying now
Now now, no crying now

'Cause there's someone crying louder
For the things that count
'Cause there's someone crying louder
For the things that count

She was in her teens when they stole her away
For the pleasure of the men that believe they're kings
Any decency for the ones who will bleed
On behalf of themselves and their families

When you gonna come to real of the thing
That it hurts when you act like you notice this?
When you gonna come to real of the thing
That it hurts when you act like you notice this?

Now now, no crying now
Now now, no crying now

'Cause there's someone crying louder
For the things that count
'Cause there's someone crying louder
For the things that count

Daddy's lying there with a mystery
And there's no one with a heart who will help him heal
Daddy's lying there with a mystery
And there's no one with a heart who will help him heal

When you gonna come to real of the thing
When you look in my eyes can't you see you're me?
When you gonna come to real of the thing
When you look in my eyes can't you see you're me?

Now now, no crying now
Now now, no crying now
Now now, no crying now
Now now, no crying now
Now now
