Look the Other Way lyrics

Man on the street 

gets beaten by a gang of kids.

Hey, that's not your problem.

Sticks and static,

don't let it into your life.

Shut your eyes tight,

make it go away.

Someone else will help it.

But you've got no more time,

you're such a busy man now.

Why don't you look the other way,

any other way?

I tell you, look the other way,

any other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.

Stay alive now, 

keep out of big affairs.

Baby, baby, see them?

Hungry, needy, 

what can a little man do?

Up the ladder of opportunity,

but don't you make me guilty.

I've got my life,

what's the matter with you?

Why don't you look the other way,

any other way?

I see you look the other way,

any other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.

Too bad, another tragedy.

You're not to blame.

Just count your sheep

and try to sleep again.

Why don't you look the other way,

any other way?

I see you look the other way,

any other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.

Look the other way.

Look the other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.

I dare you, look the other way,

any other way, any other way.
