People on the sidewalk
Making small talk
Keeping up with life
Ask no questions
Make no decisions
Just do what's right
Oh, do you wanna runaway
Oh, do you wanna breakaway
Someone's screamin'
Calling out for help
But everyone looks after themselves
No one cares or gives a damn
How can we live in this land
Are you looking out for you
One hand can change
This world, it's true
Some will stay and some must go
But do they really know
Oh, which way will the wind blow
Which way will the seas flow
Which way with time
Oh, which way will the world turn
Who's hand will control it in our time
With our hands on eyes
Fingers in our ears
We've been like this
For too many years
Let others do what they do
Without asking if it's good for you
Turn it round, upside down
Plug it in, turn up the sound
Let's hear what's in your head
Before it's too late to be said
