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
