lyrics
VERSE ONE:
We climb, we climb, gotta get to, get to
Oh, American dream
Work hard, work hard, gotta get paid, get paid
Oh, American dream
He sat, he sat, on my mind, my mind
No, I had no time
So lost, so cold, he had no home, no home
No, to call his own
So he asked me if he could pay, a quarter for my time
VERSE TWO:
You beg, you beg, you’re going nowhere, nowhere
No, no pity on you
Filthy, and dirty, you need rehab, rehab
No, no pity on you
He sat, he sat, on my mind, my mind
No, I had no time
So lost, so cold, he had no home, no home
No, to call his own
So he asked me if I would pay, a quarter for my time
BRIDGE:
Who are you?
How’d you get here?
Will I look back?
Or just keep going?
VERSE THREE:
Needin’, needin’, some courage, courage
Oh, he wanted to be known
No one, no one, needin’ someone, someone
No, he didn’t choose this road
He sat, he sat, on my mind, my mind
No, I had no time
So lost, so cold, he had no home, no home
No, to call his own
So he asked me if he could pay, a quarter for my
BRIDGE:
Who are you?
How’d you get here?
Will I look back?
Or just keep going?
Who are you?
How’d you get here?
Will I look back?
Or just keep going?
