Staind - Open Your Eyes (Edited) lyrics

rate me

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

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 s***

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

You turn away

As I walk along the streets

Soaking up the acid rain

Underneath the taxi cabs

I hear the streets cry out in vain
