I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
Has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And sons sell death to kids
Your'e so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
As I walk along these streets I see a man that walks alone Distant echo of people's feet Has no place to call his own A shot rings out from a roof over head A crack head asks for change nearby An old man lies in an alleyway dead A little girl lost just stands there and cries What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do A boy just 13 on the corner for sale Swallows his pride for another hit Overpopulation there's no room in jail But most of you don't give a shit That your daughters are porno stars And sons sell death to kids Your'e so lost in your little worlds Your little worlds you'll never fix What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do You turn away As I walk along the streets Soaking up the acid rain Underneath the taxi cabs I hear the streets cry out in vain What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do Explain Request ×
