	Written during the early nineties recession. I saw a tee-shirt in a store window, of a woman, two children, and a shopping cart full of their belongings...the blank stare on the childrens' faces said much...a few days later, this song was born in one sitting, which only happens for me 15% of the time...

	Story Behind the Song The lyricsa speak for themselves Lyrics Look at the shopping cart children, A push cart is their limosine. Their mother pushes them down the street, With nothing but soup to fill them, If they're lucky, some rice and beans. In a land that still gives away wheat, How could such poverty remain? How could such poverty remain? There's a blank look in that woman's eyes, She's too tired and hungry to hate. Out in the hot summer swelter. Did someone leave her, telling lies? Or, is he sleeping on a grate? Out of mind, left with no shelter, Broken hearted, out beyond pain? Broken hearted, out beyond pain? Who dares think they are really rich, In a world where some still suffer? Does your money dig you a ditch, Or build you a fool-proof buffer? Now, the man who spoke on TV Said, "It's only a recession." Wants us to know that it's no big deal. I wonder if those kids would agree Will Congress have a FREE session, To prove it really ain't some big heel? Is there a paradise to regain? Is there a paradise to regain? Tell me now, won't you tell me now Is there, is there a paradise to regain?
