Street out on the street tonight there's a million lonely people and nobody knows why they just can't find a friend or maybe a lover or just someone to talk to everybody's running hey now, something's got to give in my life I've never seen so many people work so hard to be loved the pressure's on who can beat the champion who can beat the system who can play their fucking game while the unfortunate one cries out on the street tonight kicking at the trash cans hey now cussing at the rain in my life I've never seen so many people work so hard to survive I don't understand where my balance was sure I could reach out my hand and bring you so much more more than this half-hearted faith more than a witness tonight maybe next time around, I'll get it right a purple sky a yellow field a deep green ocean a pretty red rose makes its way for what it's worth and down on the street tonight I got your picture in my pocket as I listen to the rumbling of us living here on earth in my life I've never seen so many people work so hard to believe to survive to be loved to stay alive
