Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of corner shop He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day They never ever see him from top He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground He gets to his feet he says
[CHORUS:] What about me, it isn't fair I've had enough now i want my share Can't you i wanna live But you just take more than you give
Well there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop She's been waiting back there, waiting her dreams Her dreams walk in and out they never stop Well she's not too proud to cry out loud runs to the street and she screams
[CHORUS]
So take a step back and see the little people They may be young they're the ones That make the people big So listen, as they whisper What about me
And now i'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved And i'm cold and alone I guess i'm lucky, i smile a lot But sometimes i wish for than i've got
