There's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop He's been waiting down there, waiting half a day They never ever see him from the top He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground He gets to his feet and he says What about me, it isn't fair I've had enough, now I want my share Can't you see, I wanna live But you just take more than you give There's a pretty girl serving at the counter of a corner shop She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop Well, she's not too proud to cry out loud She runs through the street and she screams What about me, it isn't fair I've had enough, now I want my share Can't you see, I wanna live But you just take more than you give So take a step back and see the little people They may be young, but they're the ones Who make this big river big So listen as they whisper What about me, now I'm standing on a corner All the world's gone home Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved And I'm feeling cold and alone I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot But sometimes I wish for more Then I've got What about me, it isn't fair I've had enough, now I want my share Can't you see, I wanna live But you just take more What about me, it isn't fair I've had enough, now I want my share Can't you see, I wanna live But you just take more You just take more You just take more than you give What about me What about me What about me
