There's a little boy waitin' at the counter of the corner shop

He's been waitin' down there

Waiting half the day

We never ever see him from the top

He gets pushed around

Knocked to the ground

But he gets to his feet and he says...

What about me

It isn't fair

I've had enough now I wasnt my share

Can't you see

I wanna live

But you just take more then you give

There's a pretty girl standing at the counter of the corner shop

She's been waitin' back there

Waitin' for her dreams

Her dreams walk in and I begged 'em to stop

Well she's not too proud

To cry out loud

She runs to the street and she screams

What about me

It isn't fair

I've had enough now I wasn't my share

Can't you see

I wanna live

But you just take more then you give

So take a step back and see the little people

They may be young

But they're the ones who make the big people big

So listen

As they whisper

What about me

Now I'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home

Nobody's changed

Nobody's been saved

And I'm feeling cold and alone

I guess I'm lucky

I smile a lot

But sometimes I wish for more

Then I go...

What about me

It isn't fair

I've had enough now I wasn't my share

Can't you see

I wanna live

But you just take more what about me

It isn't fair

I've had enough now I want my share

Can't you see

I wanna live

But you just take more

You just take more

You just take more then you give

What about me

What about me

What about me
