Steve Taylor - CursesLyrics

Curses Sworn to love and cherish always Sworn as their provider all your days You've seen that look in each of their eyes So helpless, so demanding You feel the strain of labor in vain The curses rain And few are left standing chorus: Never have I seen the righteous forsaken Never abandoned in the floodlands Never have I seen their children out begging Never have I seen them slip through your hands Ignorance or apathy? Which way? "We don't know and we don't care," they say And as we watch the family die An orphan choir rehearses Their daddies left without a goodbye Will you, my man, buckle under these curses? (chorus) And the curses fall on another deserter And the curses fall on another deserter And the curses fall on another deserter (chorus)
