Open Your Eyes Lyrics - Staind
Review The Song (3)
As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

I wish everyone would listen to this song and actually pay attention to the lyrics. It would make the world a lot better if people realized what they were doing.
The Blind Shall See | Reviewer: Ian Don | 2/27/06
Grabbing for an audio tape to record "Beatles for Sale" from my vinyl collection for the car (not in the CD era yet, let alone MP3)I was intrigued to find it had a few feet of tape already wound on, so I played it back. My son, now an accomplished bass player, studying music at Leicester de Montford, had left me a sample of the opening two verses of "Open Your Eyes". It's still there - with the Beatles following on. If only every crack-head and their uncaring parents could be forced to listen to those chilling lines - eight days a week,if necessary - the world would be a whole lot nicer place to be 63 in. Dreadful realism.
