On the street you are listening to every beat of your heart

Want to know if it's working and you're still alive

On your feet you are walking around with your clothes torn apart

In a nightmare where the question is how to survive



In this dangerous land

I'm trying the best that I can

to be a respectable man

So won't you listen won't you listen to me



Chorus:

I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention

I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool



On the street you are looking so hard for a place for the night

All you want is understanding of your basic rights



In this dangerous land

I'm trying the best that I can

to be a respectable man

So won't you listen won't you listen to me



Chorus:

I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention

I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool

I'm crossing the line if you don't give me time on your television

I've got something to say don't push me away
