Staind - Open Your Eyes lyrics

rate me

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 acid 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?
