Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop   He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day   They never ever see him from the top   He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground   He gets to his feet and he says      [CHORUS:]   What about me, it isn't fair   I've had enough now i want my share   Can't you see i wanna live   But you just take more than you give      Well there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop   She's been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams   Her dreams walk in and out they never stop   Well she's not too proud to cry out loud    She runs to the street and she screams      [CHORUS]      So take a step back and see the little people   They may be young but they're the ones   That make the big people big   So listen, as they whisper   What about me      And now i'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home   Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved   And i'm feeling cold and alone   I guess i'm lucky, i smile a lot   But sometimes i wish for more than i've got      [CHORUS]
