(Sing it, V-Peeps . . . )

"If you'd take the train with me 
Uptown, through the misery 
Of ghetto streets in morning light, 
It's always night. 
Take a window seat, put down your Times, 
You can read between the lines, 
Just meet the faces that you meet 
Beyond the window's pane. 

And it might begin to teach you 
How to give a damn about your fellow man. 
And it might begin to teach you 
How to give a damn about your fellow man. 

Or put your girl to sleep sometime 
With rats instead of nursery rhymes, 
With hunger and your other children 
By her side, 
And wonder if you'll share your bed 
With something else which must be fed, 
For fear may lie beside you 
Or it may sleep down the hall. 

[Chorus] 

Come and see how well despair 
Is seasoned by the stif'ling air, 
See your ghetto in the good old 
Sizzling summertime. 
Suppose the streets were all on fire 
The flames like tempers leaping higher 
Suppose you'd lived there all your life, 

D'you think that you would mind? 
And it might begin to reach you 
Why I give a damn about my fellow man; 
And it might begin to teach you 
How to give a damn about your fellow man"
