Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop He's been down there, waiting half the day They never ever see him from the top He gets pushed around, 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 see i wanna live But you just take more than you give
Well a pretty girl serving the counter of the corner shop She's been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams Her dreams walk in and out never stop Well she's not too proud to cry out loud She runs to the street and she screams
[CHORUS]
So take a step back see the little people They may be young but they're the ones That make the big people big So listen, as they whisper What 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 feeling cold and I guess i'm lucky, i smile a lot But sometimes wish for more than i've got
