The Face Of The Nation Lyrics - John Mellencamp

As I run through this life 

Sometimes it breaks my heart 

Seein' old people goin' downtown 

Stumblin' their way through the dark 

And the little babies cry 

For their mothers' warmth 

Sometimes I feel so helpless 

I don't know where to start 

And the face of the nation 

Keeps changin' and changin' 

The face of the nation 

I don't recognize it no more 

The face of the nation 

The face of the nation

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

So many lonely people 

Damn those broken dreams 

Oh yes it could be better 

You can say that about anything 

Some got it worse than me 

Some got it worse than you 

You see the people starvin' underneath the tree 

And you wonder what happened to the golden rule 

And the face of the nation 

Keeps changin' and changin' 

The face of the nation 

I don't recognize it no more 

The face of the nation 

The face of the nation 

You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin' 

To put things right 

If only for me and you 

Cause the devil sleeps tonight

And the face of the nation 

Keeps changin' and changin' 

The face of the nation 

I don't recognize it no more 

The face of the nation 

The face of the nation 

And the face of the nation 

Keeps changin' and changin' 

The face of the nation 

I don't recognize it no more 

The face of the nation 

The face of the nation
