People all over the world
Here and now are in suffering, struggling to be free
You're there in your little world
I'm in mine and we're mumbling, grumbling
What about me?
What about me?

I think we've got it made
I think we've got it very easy
I think it must be said
It must be said we're doing fine

I watch the news at ten
I can't believe what I am seeing
I get the blues and then
I wonder if and when
Could be better in another life

What about me?

I hear the world is round
Each half is so uneven
I've had my ups and downs
I can't compare my life to this

The preacher sees the light
Easy when you're on the mountain
There is a human right
That says in black and white
You cry for freedom, you're too weak to talk

When you sleep at night
Do you have a hard time dreaming
About what's near and dear to you
When you dream at night

Do you find it hard believing
That your dream will still come
That your dream will still come
That your dream will still come true
