Give A Damn Lyrics

If you'd take the train with me

Uptown, thru the misery

Of ghetto streets in morning light,

It's always night.

Take a window seat, put down your Times,

You can read between the lines,

Just meet the faces that you meet

Beyond the window's pane.

And it might begin to teach you

How to give a damn about your fellow man.

And it might begin to teach you

How to give a damn about your fellow man.

Or put your girl to sleep sometime

With rats instead of nursery rhymes,

With hunger and your other children

By her side,

And wonder if you'll share your bedSpanky & Our Gang - Give A Damn - http://motolyrics.com/spanky-and-our-gang/give-a-damn-lyrics.html

With something else which must be fed,

For fear may lie beside you

Or it may sleep down the hall.

[Chorus]

Come and see how well despair

Is seasoned by the stif'ling air,

See your ghetto in the good old

Sizzling summertime.

Suppose the streets were all on fire

The flames like tempers leaping higher

Suppose you'd lived there all your life,

D'you think that you would mind?

And it might begin to reach you

Why I give a damn about my fellow man;

And it might begin to teach you

How to give a damn about your fellow man
