NO SERVICE HERE
Where will we go
To get our food stamps?Where will we go?
Follow the rules.
Where can we go to?
Where is the person
Who tells us if we live or die?
When did this happen?
We got no notice.
Why did this happen?
We need some answers.
Is there an answer?
In our new chaos
That tells us if we’ll live or die?
Where do we go?
How will we get there?
We have no bus fare?
How can we go?
Pushed to the edge of
Chicago’s west side
Six miles across the city
Where does the truth lie?
How can we live?
How will we die?
Tell us why!
