Description: This is about the poverty and the sickness that can be found on the streets of Vancouver and people that know real suffering. It's astounding how little most of us are willing to do to even acknowledge their existence. It's just easier to deal with if we pretend it's not there, right?

lyrics

Never Been One
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies

Never been one to start before
Never been one to cross the line
Never been one to take the fall
'Cause all this shit's gonna be just fine
Never been one to light the match
Never been one to take the blame
Never been one to touch the gun
We're all just zombies anyway

Walking around like we're alive
Walking around like we're not dead
Jesus better come around soon
Shoot me in the head
'Cause we all had our reasons
Had someone else to blame
We all held up our Bibles
And in wrath envied His name

Don't you ever stop to wonder
Why we can't just stop the car?
The cardboard roof is caving in and
We can't stand to get wet again
Someone's alive here
But we just can't see
Sewers overflow with pills and
We refuse
We refuse to see

Can you see the light? Can you see the light that's in front of you?
Can I see the lie? Can I see the lie that's in front of me?
Can you see the light? Can you see the light that's in front of you?
Can I see the lie? Can I see the lie that's in front of me?

Babies on the streets, their mother's always crying
She's got needles in her veins and their fathers dying
Can't get a job, no one's there to help
Take a seat a wait to leave this hell
