|
I've been standing on the poor man side |
|
Looking across the great divide |
|
At the people with the money |
|
But they never look across at me |
|
I see things that you wouldn't believe |
|
The respectable man taking money like a thief |
|
And he don't give a damn |
|
For the mouths he could feed |
|
Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon |
|
The space between us gonna break my heart |
|
There's the man who thinks different from me |
|
So he had me thrown in his jail |
|
He talks a lot about freedom |
|
Then he throws away the key |
|
And here's a man with a different coloured skin |
|
You know he's suspicious of me |
|
He thinks I'll steal his wife |
|
He thinks I'll steal his colour t.v |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
There you are on the other side |
|
Walking away from me |
|
I call to you |
|
But you can't hear the word I say |
|
I'm standing on the poor man side |
|
Looking across the great divide |
|
At the people in the world |
|
But they never look across at me |
