Son, when you're uptown dashing, splashing cash and
With your big bag of fashion, show concern and some compassion for the beggar
Remember act flash you crash and that your actions
Will surely follow you, it's true, and nobody's better
Know it's the strays and the sufferers and the dwellers of the gutters
Who'll be the kings and the queens when you've no home or supper, so remember

And when it all comes crashing and heads are scratching
No one's got your back and things are gone, what you had, and you got nothing
They'll have more concern for their gadgets than for the poor, and it's tragic
They'll pass you by with assumption and malice, don't you ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

With devices that communicate with the clouds
And screens that give us glimpses into the universe
Sometimes it becomes hard to see what's right in front of us
Remember
Some days we forget that we have our health
More than enough food on the shelf
There's enough reason to look in the mirror
And let your reflection smile wider at you than anyone else (okay)

It's just as hope is one man's saviour to a next man, it's a stranger
One man's pavement could be another man's manger (okay)
Remember
With all the technology in our modern day community
Sometimes we forget the position we're living in
'Cause while some lived in squalor
We became residents of that privilege
With devices that communicate with the clouds
And screens that give us glimpses into the universe
Sometimes we forget to see what's right in front of us
