Olivers Army
What has happened to our town
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars

Sneakers
Nine o'clock, no stamp on your hand
It's hard to rock when you can't see the band
You have enough money to pay the rates
But you can't get in because of your age
Minor Disturbance, stopped at the door
Not new to you, cause it's happened before
Friends are on the floor, band is on the stage
You missed another show because of your age
Go down to another part of town
Just so they can't turn you down
Not because of a sold-out house
You're not eighteen and that's what counts
We're too young to rock
We're too young to rock
