"Accountable" lyrics

"Accountable"

Poor man begging on a corner
Hard to build a future out of quarters
Everybody keeps on moving
He's still right here trying to even the score
For where he was born

Family barely holding it together
The elephant just gets bigger
Empty downstairs bedroom
Little girl shouldn't have to learn too soon
What pills can do

Now the devil's at the door
Can't hide it anymore
Now we're all
Accountable

Paradise keeps on burning
Working man still ain't learning
Rich folks blame it on the poor ones
Can't solve the problems with the big guns
And their dreams are gone

Now the devil's at the door
Can't hide it anymore
Now we're all
Accountable

Now there's better days to come
And the truth is never wrong
So come on lend a hand
Give anything you can
Because now we're all
Accountable
