well there's a man on the corner
he's standin there beggin for your change
hes better off dancing in the desert for rain
cause ya aint gettin blood from a stone
and huh
dont bother knockin
cause nobody's home
cause we're all out trying to get our 9-5
but needin 24-7 just to survive
times are hard and even harder on me
im livin
single parent in da hood times 3
and theres too many children with no daddy;s home
and too many mommas working hours too long
and uh
too many starvin mouthes livin on streets
and uh
too many youth that';s lackin parental needs
so whos gonna stand up start a linkin da chain
with your fist in the air shout "im ready for change"
or ya just gonna there bitch and complain
and uh
keep pointin fingers as your placin the blame
well you better stand back and take a look in the mirror
cause the face thats lookin back at you's the one you should fear
and you say your present but you're not really here
and jah dont have to listen but tell me dear
can you hear me
oh baby do you feel me
is there time to do some healin
or is it
just never enough just never enough
well these streets are gettin gritty
and it sure aint lookin pretty
and aint no body got a dime
they cant spend any time with you
castawayed on and island
cant no body seem to find him
but the truth is that she knows
and she knows that he goes goes away
but i uh but I
aint letting these grimey streets get me down
aint letting these grimey streets get me down
well honey baby tell me have you took a look at the world today
and tell me doesnt it just make you wanna hang your head in shame
well honey I aint got the answers I dont know honey what we should do
but give me freedom... for me and you
untied we stand untied we get stronger
united we stand united we get stronger
well stand up tell them we wont take it any longer
united we stand united we get stronger
if this is the sweet land of liberty
then tell me why cant we all just "let it breathe"
aint letting these grimey streets get me down

Great story that could be from the back alley of any big city. Got a Tracey Chapman acoustic groove and raw honesty about it. Took me on a lonely journey  that was somehow optimistic, partly because of the familiar acoutic riff that underpins this great track.
Nice 
Cheers
