The Junkie Song

Took a walk in my neighborhood
At 2 in the mornin' by the skytrain station
The streets were full of junkies and homeless
And they all wanted somethin'
They all wanted somethin'

What am I supposed to do?
There are too many of you
too many of you…
Yet sometimes I look you in the eye
and say that I too am human
I could easily be you…

You know we all hover between apathy and compassion
We fill up all our days with so much distraction
It makes it easier not to see what we don't want to
But we all live here
We all live here
We all live lonely

Took a walk in my neighborhood
At 2 in the mornin' by the sky train station
The streets were full of junkies and homeless
And they all wanted somethin'
They all wanted somethin'

What am I supposed to do?
There are too many of you
too many of you…
Yet sometimes I look you in the eye
and say that I too am human…

I could easily be you
I could easily be you
I could easily be you
