Open Your Eyes Lyrics

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 over head
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, 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
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

Chorus

You turn away (4x)

As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

Chorus (2x)
