Who are we to Judge

Monday morning, mother’s talking on the phone

Who is she talking to in whispers

I guess no one will know.

Send the children off to school

To sit with a glass of wine

Pop’s a dozen pills

Hopes for a cheap thrill

As she leaves her home behind-

The world is all she finds.



The nurse is smoking a cigarette

As she tells the patient’s to quit

A man is posing as the needy

Though he knows that he’s not it

A girl just barely twelve

Is skipping school, to take another hit

Who are we to judge

Are we such hypocrites.



We all stare

But no one says nothing

Silently we’re all thinking something

Looking down

And turn around- as they pass by

Take a picture, it lasts longer

Gossip thoughts won’t make us stronger

Who are we to judge what’s on

There minds.



Yeah.



Evening the very same day, mother puts her kids to sleep

Says no to another story

And her youngest starts to weep

Turns out the lights, and answers the door

To a man she doesn’t know

The forth that week

But living ain’t cheap

And it’s another sleepless night-

It’s all a constant fight.



The priest is preaching ‘bout the hell

That he knows he’ll end up in

The teachers failing all the students

In a class that she failed in

An AA advocate is drinking

‘Cause he feels like he can’t win

who are we to judge

are we perfect, devoid of sin.



We all stare

But no one says nothing

Silently we’re all thinking something

Looking down

And turn around- as they pass by

Take a picture, it lasts longer

Gossip thoughts won’t make us stronger

Who are we to judge what’s on

There minds.



A little too wrong

A little to late

Lacking morals

Filled with hate

How can you judge

What you’re seeing

How can you tell them

What they’re needing-

You can’t.



We all stare

But no one says nothing

Silently we’re all thinking something

Looking down

And turn around- as they pass by

Take a picture, it lasts longer

Gossip thoughts won’t make us stronger

Who are we to judge what’s on

There minds.



We all stare

But no one says nothing

Silently we’re all thinking something

Looking down

And turn around- as they pass by

Take a picture, it lasts longer

Gossip thoughts won’t make us stronger

Who are we to judge what’s on

There minds.



Who are we to judge them

We can’t

Who are we to judge.

i like the refrain or what ever you call it

"The nurse is smoking a cigarette
As she tells the patient’s to quit
A man is posing as the needy
Though he knows that he’s not it
A girl just barely twelve
Is skipping school, to take another hit
Who are we to judge
Are we such hypocrites."

"The priest is preaching ‘bout the hell
That he knows he’ll end up in
The teachers failing all the students
In a class that she failed in
An AA advocate is drinking
‘Cause he feels like he can’t win
