Well I woke up this morning, put the shoes upon my feet Went down the station at 16th Street Played my guitar for the people walking by Well it's a whole lot easier than waiting around to die Well they're running up the escalator, tearing down the stairs Thrown out the sorrows and ignored all the cares Well I play my guitar for the people walking by Well it gets whole lot easier and easier every time it try Well you're coming home from work, going out to play This is how I spend every one of my days I play my guitar for people walking by Well its a whole lot easier than waiting around to die Well the problem with this world is not society, it's the inhumanity between you and me Well i play my guitar for the people walking by Well it gets easier and easier every time it try So I wake up in the morning put the shoes upon my feet Go down the station at 16th Street Play my guitar for people walking by Well it's a whole lot easier than waiting around to die
