Slow Coming

At the top of the hour
Today in the news
A little girl is shot down
While tying her shoes

Honestly
How can I be bother now?
To tell you the truth
I ain’t been sleepin’ too well

Although our parents
Fought to be equals
The state decides true love
If they only knew

Honestly
How can I be proud right now?
To tell you the truth
I ain’t been sleepin’ too well

Today he gets five stars
For learning to read
Too bad he’s not from here
You’d better learn to weep

Even though computers are
Taking up my time
Even though there’s
Satellites roaming in space
Even though my
Palm predicts the weather
We still cannot yield

Even though computers are
Taking up my time
Even though there’s
Satellites roaming in space
Even though my
Palm predicts the weather

We still cannot yield
The future is slow coming, honey
The future is slow, slow coming
