Some folks say there’s no voice today that is willing to reach the hearts and minds of the average Joe. You know him. He’s . . .
The 50+ hours a week with no OT Joe
The let’s build our lives on shaky credit with a 21% APR Joe
The one pay check away from living in the car Joe
The American dream that’s drifting away Joe
The let’s kill the pain with spirits, herbs and chemicals Joe
The fear for our tomorrow’s in a world chock full of sorrow’s Joe
The class I was born into is going extinct and there’s no moving up but only going down Joe
The masses that passes the classes and still works the mailroom Joe
The man on the street with nothing to eat Joe
The barely legal boys with their lethal toys who play GI Joe Joe
The dying too young my song never sung Joe
The teenager dad who wasn’t so bad but got dealt the bad hand Joe
The drug addicted fool who sits outside the schoolyard retracing his steps to find his way back home Joe
The lonely poet who has lost his voice by no choice of his own Joe
The can’t find it behind them and can’t find it in front of them ’cos tomorrow may not there Joe
The living in fear of the 6 o’clock news afraid to hear another 3,000 are struck dead in the name of God Joe
The seeker who seeks and finds nothing worthwhile Joe
The fool who struck gold only to let it go up in smoke Joe
The I’m too tired to deal with this head, sometimes I think I’d rather be dead Joe
The coping and hoping for someone to hear their plea Joe
I hear you Joe. And this one’s for us Joe.
