Lyrics
Big Issue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take a walk through the city streets
Don't be surprised by what you find
They're littered with the evidence
Or the failures of mankind
You can blame the world
You can blame the law
You can even blame yourself
But how can we move forward
With our backs against the wall?
And you say that it's no big issue
But just take a look around
Apathy won't change a thing
In a world with a heart of stone
There's an old man lying in the gutter
Not a dollar to his name
No one knows his story
No one knows from where he came
Time passes by, he takes another drink
But no one even stops to think
How he got to be there
Or how he ended up this way
And you say that it's no big issue
But just take a look around
Apathy won't change a thing
In a world with a heart of stone [x2]
There's a young girl living on the streets
Only trying to survive
She'll sell herself for any price
Just to keep herself alive
Her body bruised, her mind abused
She'll never be the same
But no one tries to help her
No one even knows her name
And you say that it's no big issue
But just take a look around
Apathy won't change a thing
In a world with a heart of stone [x2]
Take a walk through the city streets
Don't be surprised by what you find
They're littered with the evidence
Or the failures of mankind
You can blame the world
You can blame the law
You can even blame yourself
But how can we move forward
With our backs against the wall?
And you say that it's no big issue
But just take a look around
Apathy won't change a thing
In a world with a heart of stone [x2]
No, apathy won't change a thing
In a world with a heart of stone
