Open Your Eyes
As I walk along these streets
I see a man who 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 alley way 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 thirteen 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 your sons sell death to kids
You're 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 these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
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?
I see a man who 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 alley way 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 thirteen 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 your sons sell death to kids
You're 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 these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
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?
