lyrics

In the City – the lights are pretty
And you see these shifty eyes on the street
Walking home I hear a passerby
Mumbling while shivering in the cold

I pick up my pace, try to replace
His face with something that will bring me
Some comfort to ease my mind through
Ignorance – I’ll forget about him and his pain

My eyes in front of me,
I don’t look, I don’t wanna think
About that poor man’s family
Starving at home
Looking at me, he says
“Hey, Mister Big Money
Release your paradigm, come spare a dime for me
Hey, Mister White Collar
Would you be so kind? Buy me a bite to eat”

At a stoplight, I pull up besides
A woman with a sign: she’s had no food for three days
She catches my eye, so she’s gonna try
And in my mind I know that I have some change

My eyes in front of me,
I drive away, do not let her speak
Pretend that she’s not happening
Sorry, sorry!

Looking at me, she says
“Hey, Mister Big Money”…
