I met a woman in San Francisco Who was layin' in the street I walked on passed her in a hurry I didn't want her at my feet Am I just numb or overloaded Or have I lost all sense of worth? This begging for a survival Doomed by a twist of fate from birth I met this woman in San Francisco She only had one shoe Have we all gone crazy? How can this happen? Is there nothing we can do? I don't believe that for a fuckin' minute No system's comin' to her rescue While she laid cryin' I felt helpless Where are these cracks that she fell through? The times we live in have less value Than Bob Doles' useless arm There are no fires burnin' brightly What's even worse There's no alarm I met this lady in San Francisco She was dyin' at my feet People passed her like she was nothing Less than garbage in the street The times we live in must have value We can't all turn away 'Cause that woman who had nothing Might be me or you someday Someday Someday Someday
