I'd seen somebody hurtin'
Thought I'd try to do my bit
Try a little heartstring tuggin'
Plenty purses to get hit
On the street
Where things are changin' every day
On the street
Be right careful what you say
Don't miss a single beat
When you're out here on the street
Take in a small donation
Give out a little badge
Carry identification
Provin' you're not tryin' to catch
Wear your thickest skin
And muffle up your ears
Protect you from the backlash
And the stuff you 'bout to hear
On the street
Where things are changin' all the time
On the street
Compassion fashion, it's a crime
Don't miss a single stage
Know whose rage is all the rage
Well, I did get some abuse
And I really felt a fool
Looked like I squandered my concern
On some cause that isn't cool
What made me feel twice stupid
I never thought such things could be
Right that was is right that is
Was how it looked to me
On the street
Where things are changin' all the while
On the street
Got to stay in step with what's in style
Don't drop a single beat
Brother, when you're out here on the street
Ah, yeah
ย
On the street
Where things are changin' every day
On the street
Man, be right careful what you say
On the street
Things are changin' all the time
Out on the street
Compassion fashion, that's a crime
Don't drop a single beat
When you're out here on the street
And don't you miss a single stage
Got to know whose rage is all the rage
