What About Me Songtext

von Moving Pictures

There's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop
They never ever seem to have the time
He's been waiting down there
Waiting half the day
He gets pushed around
Knocked to the ground
He gets to his feet and he says:

What about me, it isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
What about me, it isn't fair
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more than you give...

There's a pretty girl serving at the counter of a corner shop
And dreams walk in and out
They never stop
She's been waiting back there
Waiting for her dream
She's not too proud to cry out loud

What about me, it isn't fair
She runs to the street and she screams
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more than you give

Take a step back and see the little people
So listen, as they whisper;
There's nothing there but the words that make the big people big

"What about me? ..."

I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
Nobody's changed
Nobody's been saved
Now we're standing on the corner of a world gone home
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
And I'm feeling cold and alone

What about me, it isn't fair
Can't you see? I wanna live!
I've had enough now I want my share
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 than you give...
What about me?

What about me?
What about me?
