lyrics

I met a boy with dirty feet
I thought he'd think the same as me
But when he sees a man in the street
All he sees is dust and meat
When I see a man in the street I offer him a cigarette
He might not be very neat but you know that he'll appreciate it
What would it cost you?
to put yourself inside of another person's shoes and
What would it cost me?
trying to make you see....

To what do what do I owe?
this awkward silence
To what do what do I owe?
your passive violence
To what do what do I owe?
you going off again
The only thing you know is the places you've been

Why would you?
How could you?
What do you even do?

So to the guy I never met
He doesn't have the right to get
To reduce you down to cloth and sweat
From his place he isn't better
What would it cost him?
to take a step back and see that life is grim and
What would it cost you?
Just another day to get through.

To what do what do I owe?
this small endeavor
To what do what do I owe?
you feeling clever
To what do what do I owe?
your tall arrogance
the only thing you know is ambivalence

Where do you
get these views?
Come on, dude.
And get a CLUE.
