Better Angels - Quiet Desperation
	lyrics
Living lives of quiet desperation Imitating life as best they can Living life with no good inspiration All their dreams just slipped out of their hands. Jenny called me up just the other day Said her food stamps would soon be on their way. And her bachelor degree, it hangs on the wall, Seems it doesn't do her any good at all. She's living a life of quiet desperation Imitating life as best she can Living life with no good inspiration All her dreams just slipped out of her hands. Scraping by, Joe's family turned homeless After Mary's last Caesarian was done, No decent neighborhood, no schooling for big sister, No solid roof for Mary's newborn son. They're living lives of quiet desperation Imitating life as best they can Living life with no good inspiration All their dreams just slipped out of their hands. Every day the Hansons picked up Susie In a crowded car with not much room to spare Every time the teacher called her parents They were told her parents were not there. Seems their friends volunteered their number The day the Hansons moved into their car. They take the messages for the Hansons, Who found a place to park that isn't far. We're all living lives of quiet desperation Imitating life as best we can Living life with no good inspiration All our dreams just slip out of our hands.
