While You Were Looking At Me Lyrics

While You Were Looking At Me lyrics

While you were looking at me
The world passed you by
You held your
prejudice sacred
And left your dreams behind
While you were looking
at me
The homeless stayed in the streets
You learned to drink
poisoned water
But never learned how to read
Well it's easy to put
the blame on someone else
But it's hard to see yourself
Did you ever
take a good look at yourself?
While you were looking at me
Airport
security died
And the smugglers and the terrorists
Just walked right
by
'Cause they don't dress like me
They dress like you
They wear
suits and ties
Like all you hypocrites do
Well it's easy to point your
finger at someone else
But it's hard to see yourself
Ain't it hard to
take a good look at yourself?
While you were looking at me
Businessmen bled you dry
You lost control of your government
It's
getting scary outside!
While you were looking at me
Your children
took the fall
Trying to be Mommy and Daddy
With dope and alcohol
You censor people like me
But it won't do you no good
The truth's
gonna get through
No matter what you do
While you were looking at
me...
