Look Out (For Your Own) Lyrics
Ya know the guy in 215?
Yesterday they found him dead
A bucket in the hallway
Rainwater on his bed
It's never easy for a man to grow old
And when he's alone
Heaven knows the nights are cold
Look out for your own
Look out, God knows the nights are cold
Look out for your own
Look out for your own
Look out
Every child is ours to shelter
Hunger is a foe to fight
But look to your left, Father
Mother, look to your right
Don't let your little ones cross the street alone
Tomorrow's playground is a danger-zone
Look out for your own
Look out, the world is a danger-zone
Look out for your own
Look out for your own
Look out
Half a million children hope to make it on their own
Your Daddy's roof is leaking
Is it too late to atone?
Look out for your own...
Notes
(The guy in 215: talking to Marc Sercomb about an old man named Andy Wallace. We were doing earthquake fortification on an old apartment building. We tore up the roof pretty good and when it rained in August of all times a lot of people got wet)
(Half a million children hope: I watched "Nightline" that night Ted K. said more than 500,000 homeless kids
Hope to survive on the streets of America)
(Your Daddy's roof is leaking: Nobody ever came for any of Andy's stuff so I got to take home a great piece of antique furniture. You should see it. The landlord didn't know who to contact, I mean, nobody showed up after weeks)
