Little brother's got a habit

That he thinks he's getting under control

And he's selling all our love and best wishes as the hunger grows

Living by the scripture on the subway walls

He wants to be a rebel but he can't find a cause



He needs something to believe in

He needs something to believe in

All he ever wanted was to get away



Little sister's getting serious with a fella nearly twice her age

And she's aiming to move in with him

As soon as they can find a place

But there's no getting through to her, there's no other way

You can't learn from mistakes that somebody else made



She needs something to believe in

She needs something to believe in

All she ever wanted was to get away



Caught in the void of no hope and no choice

It's a nobody-wins situation

What can they do- it's a catch-22

It's a breakdown to communications



Little wonder they're confused, no wonder we misunderstood

Little wonder there's a wind of change blowing through the land

Nobody's guilty...it's a sign of the times

But we won't see the future till we open our eyes
