Open your eyes

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He 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 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, 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 cold 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?
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He 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 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, 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 cold 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?
