think for a minute

something's going on

a change is taking place

children smiling in the street have gone without a trace

this street used to be full

it used to make me smile

and now it seems that everyone is walking single file

and many bow their heads in shame

that used to hold them high

and those that used to say hello

simply pass you by

think for a minute

stop for a minute

think for a minute

stop for a minute

i always said it could

they never though it would

the people look so pitiful

i'm thinking that it should

and now it's almost here

now its on its way

i can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day

and nothing i could say

could ever make them see the light

now apathy is happy that

it won without a fight

think for a minute

stop for a minute

think for a minute

stop for a minute

and many hang their heads in shame that used to hold them high

and those that used to say hello simply pass you by

think for a minute

stop for a minute

think for a minute

stop for a minute
