How Would You Feel
This is a song that asks a question
And if you listen I think you'll get the message
If you walked into a restaurant, you were hungry, and you had the money to get yourself something to eat, yeah
Somebody told you "go around to the back door to get it" even though they wasn't gonna give it to you free
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me, yeah oh
How would you feel, think about it
You take your children by the hand and you want to guide them and protect them on their very first day of school, yeah
I just want to ask one question, do you think that all the little children should be punished for the sins of all the older fools
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Yeah oh, how would you feel, think about it now
You walk to the corner and you stand in a place called a bus stop and a bus pulls up and a man opens up the door, yeah oh
He might (ha) look at you funny but he takes the money, then he says "hey, you're not one of us, sit in the back of the bus"
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, yeah oh, if you were me
Oh yeah, how would you feel, oh yeah
You pick up the morning paper and you read about people fighting and dying somewhere in a foreign land, oh yeah
Right here people are fighting and dying, and all they're trying to do is get equal rights as the constitution planned
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, yeah oh, if you were me
Think about it now, tell me, how would you feel
Yeah, if all your little children were trying to just go to school and get an education so that they could find a great place in this wonderful nation
If you went downtown and people waited on you even though you knew they didnt want to and everywhere you looked around all you could see was hate in peoples eyes
And you try to love them, and you just try to understand one another and get together and try to live happily as brothers in this great big wonderful nation
Yeah yeah, how, yeah oh, how would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Think about it now, tell me, how would you feel, yeah oh
If you were me, oh yeah,
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Think about it now, how would you feel?
And if you listen I think you'll get the message
If you walked into a restaurant, you were hungry, and you had the money to get yourself something to eat, yeah
Somebody told you "go around to the back door to get it" even though they wasn't gonna give it to you free
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me, yeah oh
How would you feel, think about it
You take your children by the hand and you want to guide them and protect them on their very first day of school, yeah
I just want to ask one question, do you think that all the little children should be punished for the sins of all the older fools
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Yeah oh, how would you feel, think about it now
You walk to the corner and you stand in a place called a bus stop and a bus pulls up and a man opens up the door, yeah oh
He might (ha) look at you funny but he takes the money, then he says "hey, you're not one of us, sit in the back of the bus"
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, yeah oh, if you were me
Oh yeah, how would you feel, oh yeah
You pick up the morning paper and you read about people fighting and dying somewhere in a foreign land, oh yeah
Right here people are fighting and dying, and all they're trying to do is get equal rights as the constitution planned
Yeah, yeah, tell me how, yeah oh

Yeah yeah, how, yeah oh, how would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Think about it now, tell me, how would you feel, yeah oh
If you were me, oh yeah,
How would you feel, oh yeah, if you were me
Think about it now, how would you feel?
