Sittin' there on the edge of the curb
the people on the street just pass with no word
so come on lets observe the modern day marvel
it's just the humankind.

Passing on by have you not learned your lesson

or are you waiting for your chance to make your confession

your own piece of the thread start today, only matter what you do, don't matter what you say

I hope I get this all out tonight before they cover me up with the yellow tape.
Once the truth is out let it be spread all over the place.

Nobody should ever be held back, or living off what other people throw back,
something always makes me wanna hold back, we gotta find the love to overcome
