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