Open Your Eyes

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



Chorus:

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



Chorus:

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 (x4)



As I walk along the streets

Soaking up the acid rain

Underneath the taxicabs

I hear the streets cry out in vain



Chorus:

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 (x2)
