John Mellencamp - Amen

To Rate
Verse 1
This is a rough place
To find a seat
This life is a confusion play
With conflict after conflict
Day after day
Amen is all I got to say

Chorus 1
There are people out in the alleys
There are people across this land
There's sadness across this country
With people who just don't give a damn
We continue on with the sickness
Like we have so many times before
Amen, and Amen, and shut the door

Verse 2
You can blame it on the weather
Or simply on the day
Rough timеs are here to stay

Chorus 2
Thеre are women who have suffered
By the back of many man's hands
There are people who have disgraced themselves
Keeping their heads in the sand
And the greed of the three-piece suit
With their signatures and weapons in their hands
Say Amen, and Amen
That's all we got to say
