Michael Monroe While You Were Looking At Me
While you were looking at me The world passed you by You held your prejudice sacred And left your dreams behind While you were looking at me The homeless stayed in the streets You learned to drink poisoned water But never learned how to read Well it's easy to put the blame on someone else But it's hard to see yourself Did you ever take a good look at yourself? While you were looking at me Airport security died And the smugglers and the terrorists Just walked right by 'Cause they don't dress like me They dress like you They wear suits and ties Like all you hypocrites do Well it's easy to point your finger at someone else But it's hard to see yourself Ain't it hard to take a good look at yourself? While you were looking at me Businessmen bled you dry You lost control of your government It's getting scary outside! While you were looking at me Your children took the fall Trying to be Mommy and Daddy With dope and alcohol You censor people like me But it won't do you no good The truth's gonna get through No matter what you do While you were looking at me...
