While You Where Looking At Me
While you were looking at me
The world passed you by
You held your prejudice sacred
And left your dreams behind
While you were looking at me
The homeless stayed in the streets
You learned to drink poisoned water
But never learned how to read
Well it's easy to put the blame on someone else
But it's hard to see yourself
Did you ever take a good look at yourself?
While you were looking at me
Airport security died
And the smugglers and the terrorists
Just walked right by
'cause they don't dress like me
They dress like you
They wear suits and ties
Like all you hypocrites do
Well it's easy to point your finger at someone else
But it's hard to see yourself
Ain't it hard to take a good look at yourself?
While you were looking at me
Businessmen bled you dry
You lost control of your government
It's getting scary outside!
While you were looking at me
Your children took the fall
Trying to be mommy and daddy
With dope and alcohol
You censor people like me
But it won't do you no good
The truth's gonna get through
No matter what you do
While you were looking at me...
Mientras Tú Me Mirabas
Mientras tú me mirabas
El mundo te pasaba de largo
Mantenías tus prejuicios sagrados
Y dejabas tus sueños atrás
Mientras tú me mirabas
Los sin techo se quedaban en las calles
Aprendiste a beber agua envenenada
Pero nunca aprendiste a leer
Es fácil echarle la culpa a alguien más
Pero es difícil verte a ti mismo
¿Alguna vez te has mirado bien a ti mismo?
Mientras tú me mirabas
La seguridad del aeropuerto murió
Y los contrabandistas y terroristas
Pasaban de largo
Porque no se visten como yo
Se visten como tú
Usan trajes y corbatas
Como todos ustedes hipócritas hacen
Es fácil señalar con el dedo a alguien más
Pero es difícil verte a ti mismo
¿No es difícil mirarte bien a ti mismo?
Mientras tú me mirabas
Los hombres de negocios te desangraban
Perdiste el control de tu gobierno
¡Está dando miedo afuera!
Mientras tú me mirabas
Tus hijos se estrellaban
Intentando ser mamá y papá
Con drogas y alcohol
Censuras a personas como yo
Pero no te servirá de nada
La verdad se abrirá paso
Sin importar lo que hagas
Mientras tú me mirabas...
