Well he opens his eyes thinking
Maybe today will be different...
Hoping some way that somehow
Something has changed...
But there's nothing to eat once again
And no sign of his sister...
And the sky opens up and the bombs
They fall down just like rain...
What he needs is...

One good day in a row
Somewhere to start, somewhere to go
He needs
One good day in a row...
One good day in a row...

From her window she watches the cars
As they move down the highway...
Heading off to the places she'll never see...
Any means to an end isn't hard to defend
When you're fifteen...
And you're left all alone
With three mouths to feed...
What she needs is...

One good day in a row
Somewhere to start, somewhere to go
She needs
One good day in a row...
One good day in a row...

And it's easy to say when you've taken the day
That all you gotta do is try
But don't you remember
But for some saving grace...go you and I...

And the powers that be they pretend
But they're not really listening
To anything or anybody but themselves
Riding mighty and high on the power of privilege...
And they're so far removed from the ones
Who don't share the wealth
The ones who need just...

One good day in a row
Somewhere to start, somewhere to go
They need
One good day in a row...

One good day in a row...
Somewhere to start, somewhere to go
They need
One good day in a row...
