Who was lyin’ in the street
I walked on past her in a hurry
I didn’t want her at my feet
Am I just numb or overloaded
Or have I lost all sense of worth
This lady beggin’ for survival
Doomed by a twist of fate from birth
I met this woman in San Francisco
She only had one shoe
Have we all gone crazy
How can this happen
Is there nothing we can do
I don’t believe that for a fuckin minute
No system’s comin’ to her rescue
While she lay crying, I felt helpless
Where are these cracks that she fell through
The times we live in
Have less value than Bob Dole’s useless arm
There are no fires burnin’ brightly
What’s even worse there’s no alarm
I met this lady in San Francisco
She was dyin’ at my feet
People passed her like she was nothing
Less than garbage in the street
The times we live in must have value
We can’t all turn away
Cause that woman who had nothing
Might be me or you
Some day
Some day
Some day
Some day
