the men w/ green faces

the men w/ green faces all act the same.
the men w/ green faces don’t have no names.
the men w/ green faces don’t care about life.
the men w/ green faces all yearn for strife.

the men w/ green faces don’t care about themselves.
the men w/ green faces all strive for Hell.
the men w/ green faces they’re all just scum.
the men w/ green faces can’t be helped by no one.

But the men I see live in a shell
That’s hardened through the years.
The men I see have pain inside.
But they fight to hide the tears.

The men I see really need help.
But to get it, they know not the way.
The men I see, without this help,
Are dying day by day.

the men w/ green faces are low life bums.
the men w/ green faces don’t live in homes.
the men w/ green faces live by the night.
the men w/ green faces live by the fight.

the men w/ green faces thy don’t want jobs.
the men w/ green faces are all just slobs.
the men w/ green faces are addicts on dope.
the men w/ green faces live w/out hope.

The men I see need help for sure,
They need someone to care.
They need someone to stand by them,
Someone who’ll always be there.

They need someone to share their pains,
And share their problems too!
The men I see really need to know true love.
The men I see need you!
