Lyrics
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
<span begin="1:01.542" end="1:05.812">What would you do</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:03.579" end="1:07.615">(What would you do)</span></span>
<span begin="1:06.055" end="1:09.989">If it was you?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:07.989" end="1:11.953">(If it was you?)</span></span>
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
<span begin="2:03.799" end="2:07.978">What would you do</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:05.783" end="2:09.660">(What would you do)</span></span>
<span begin="2:08.264" end="2:12.099">If it was you?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:10.165" end="2:13.884">(If it was you?)</span></span>
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 the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxicabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
<span begin="3:05.603" end="3:09.906">What would you do</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:07.555" end="3:11.440">(What would you do)</span></span>
<span begin="3:10.052" end="3:13.719">If it was you?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:11.980" end="3:15.778">(If it was you?)</span></span>
Would you take everything
For granted like you do?
<span begin="3:23.224" end="3:27.389">What would you do</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:25.186" end="3:29.271">(What would you do)</span></span>
<span begin="3:27.703" end="3:31.370">If it was you?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:29.604" end="3:33.482">(If it was you?)</span></span>
Would you take everything
For granted like you do?
