As I walk along these streets I see a man that walks alone Distant echo of people's feet He has no place to call his own A shot rings out from a roof overhead A crackhead 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 (What would you do) If it was you (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 And most of you don't give a shit That your daughters are porno stars And your sons sell death to kids So lost in your little worlds Your little worlds you'll never fix What would you do (What would you do) If it was you (If it was you) Would you take everything For granted like you do You turn away You turn away You turn away You turn away As I walk along the streets Soaking up the acid rain Underneath the taxicabs I hear the streets cry out in vain What would you do (What would you do) If it was you (If it was you) Would you take everything For granted like you do What would you do (What would you do) If it was you (If it was you) Would you take everything For granted like you do
