Why is it not a beautiful day in the neighborhood
�Cause Big Brother�s got a big �ol gun in his pocket
His so-called life he has misunderstood

The lamplight on the sidewalk-stage is a spotlight to remind us of
Little sister on the corner tryin� to find a reason
not to keep sellin� so-called love

There�s a blind man who doesn�t have a penny to his name
But he believes that he can see change

That there�d be people dancing in the street
People tapping their feet

If we could just fit into someone else�s shoes
Then maybe we could all get somewhere
If we don�t want to see our friends on the evenin� news
Then maybe we should start learnin� how to care
Yeah, we must find the soul of our shoes, cause we could be a�.
Walkin� revolution
Talkin� resolutions
�cause we can�t keep choosin� to do nothin�
So I think it�s time we take a walk

The driveway anticipates the heavy weight of Daddy�s heart comin� round the bend
Every night he shuts out the world and turns off the lights
Consoles in a drink, his so-called friend

Baby is sittin� in the car of a parking lot and doesn�t have enough to eat
�Cause Mamma is hungry for a so-called high
but she�s too low to take the driver�s seat

There�s a deaf man with broken legs singing for freedom
Swears he can hear the sound of children running to the rhythm
