People on the sidewalk

Making small talk

Keeping up with life

Ask no questions

Make no decisions

Just do what's right

Do you wanna runaway

Do you wanna breakaway

Someone's screamin'

Calling out for help

But everyone looks after themselves

No one cares or gives a damn

How can we live in this land

Are you looking out for you

One hand can change this world it's true

Some will stay, some must go

But do they really know

Which way will the wind blow

Which way will the seas flow

Which way with time

Which way will the world turn

Who's hand will control it in our time

With our hands on eyes

Fingers in our ears

We've been like this for too many years

Letting others do what they do

Without asking if it's good for you

Turn it round, upside down

Plug it in, turn up the sound

Let's hear what's in your head

Before it's too late to be said
