    LYRICS:
    We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley.
    We are the living dead living in your nightmares.
    Scraping ourselves from the earth, living as though we are dirt.
    Staring like you’ve seen a ghost.
    The lowest of the low with nowhere to go.
    Back from the dead, now we’re groveling at your feet.
    Handcuffed for lying our heads as we’re withering in the streets. Fighting for your attention.
    Begging for your generosity.
    Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me.
    You walk on by like I’m invisible.
    All I want is to be seen as an equal.
    We fought your battles, and we built your homes.
    Sorry if I disturbed you.
    I just wish we could live like you do.
    Even in our most beautiful days it’s dark.
    Just look at the world around you.
    There’s a consequence for what we do.
    Pass judgment on me as you walk.
    Picture perfect ain’t my obsession.
    You can’t sum up my life from a first impression.
    Learn your lesson.
    Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
    When you got nothin’, you got nothin’ to lose.
    I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me.
    You and I, we were once the same.

    Coming from a combat veteran, this is a very powerful and moving song. Again, ABR shows that they are an incredibly talented band. It hurts me to see my brothers having to suffer on the streets. Together we fought for the safety and freedom for the people Of this beautiful country, and a lot of us are so easily disposed of. You see them sitting on streets, on corners, begging for any kind of help they can get and the majority of you avoid them taking for granted that you're free because of the sacrifices they made. And you turn your backs to them. I lost my leg from the knee down, and I count my blessings everyday because the VA is good to me and a lot of men and women lost so much more than a leg. I donate a lot of my free time to helping my brothers and sisters. Because you all may have turned your backs on us, but we'll never turn our backs on each other.. or you. I'm not saying I'm a saint because the good Lord knows I'm not. But what I am trying to say is that you guys need to remember what they've done for you. Open your hearts people. Because something could happen to you and next thing you know you're in the same situation. But please, tell me, if you were homeless, starving, and cold and everyone avoided you like you were a freak or monster.. how would that make you feel? would it not break your heart?

    From when Jeremy's verse comes in until the end really chokes me up, because it can apply to far more than just homelessness, but to mental health, disease, and of course poverty. As someone that's battled with depression since I was about 6, the last bit of this song really hits heavy. "Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself? When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose. I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me. You and I, we were once the same". And the way Jeremy's voice harmonizes in the last few lines is almost haunting. I hope everyone is hanging in there, no matter what "front" your battle may be taking place on, keep on hanging on. Much love.

      @LukeR.5117 4 года назад +5

      This is an important topic that Christians should acknowledge and address, but this kind of music simply doesn't work for collective church worship. If you actually think it through, that much should be obvious.
      But a song like this could instead be a catalyst for discussion among believers--maybe not in a sermon but at least through conversations within and outside church. That's a more realistic role that this song can fulfill.

    Lyrics
    We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley
    We are the living dead, living in your nightmares
    Scraping ourselves from the earth
    Living as though we are dirt
    Staring like you've seen a ghost
    The lowest of the low, with nowhere to go
    Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
    Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets
    Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
    Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets
    Fighting for your attention, begging for your generosity
    Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me
    You walk on by like I'm invisible (invisible)
    All I want is to be seen as an equal
    We fought your battles, and we built your homes
    Sorry if I disturbed you
    I just wish we could live like you do
    Even in our most beautiful days it's dark
    Just look at the world around you
    There's a consequence for what we do
    Pass judgment on me as you walk
    Picture-perfect ain't my obsession
    You can't sum up my life from a first impression
    Learn your lesson
    Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
    When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
    Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
    When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same

Vets are one of the most under appreciated people in this country which is so ass backwards, they should be the most looked up to people around they should be treated like royalty.

      Not American, but frankly I don't give a fk about veterans or soldiers and people's obsessiveness with war, I wish people (and especially americans) would stop trying to start wars every chance they get and we would have more peace. Soldiers SHOULD be looked down on, then maybe less people will be willing to throw their lives away like that and we would have fewer wars. Also to America: stop throwing away so much money on your military and start working on your education and healthcare you fkin neanderthals.

    I am a proud recovered alcoholic and opioid addict. I spent years fighting to get & stay off the streets. I've housed for 6 years, off drugs for about 4 and off alcohol for about 16 months.
    This is a powerful because of how true it is. I remember sitting under a bridge wondering how the hell I got there.
    Beforehand I made $120,000/year but over time the drugs took over.
    It was only through Christ Jesus' love and Grace that I am here. And that I am sober.
