Empty Street
(album: Power Of The Press)
Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind.
Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why,
a reason why.
I see the man in the big black car wishing he could have my place.
Give him just a week of my life and wipe the smile off from his face,
off from his face.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can�t I just look forward? It�s not sympathy I ask.
We�ve reached the turning point; we�ve reached the point of no return.
I don�t think they�ll ever listen so now�s the time to act.
Look around can you see my life, just a wide and empty space,
looking for encouragement of a worthwhile thing to do, a thing to do.
The country´s in a hell of a state everyday upon the news,
it�s all the same, if they win it�s always us they will abuse,
they will abuse.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can�t I just look forward? It�s not sympathy I ask.
We�ve reached the turning point; we�ve reached the point of no return.
I don�t think they�ll ever listen so now�s the time to act.
Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind.
Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why,
a reason why.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can�t I just look forward? It�s not sympathy I ask.
We�ve reached the turning point; we�ve reached the point of no return.
I don�t think they�ll ever listen so now�s the time to act.
Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last.
Why can�t I just look forward? It�s not sympathy I ask.
We�ve reached the turning point.
