[Verse 1]

Your gentle pace, it provides a rhythm

For the unwashed few of us

Lock and loaded, past is a prison

For the crimes of the universe

Well, are you in the situation

To decide whether you really care?

Come on, you know that it's hard to complain

About the way you live

[Chorus]

So please

Don't let it roll right by you

Just think

If the same thing happened to you

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

[Verse 2]

I'm already tired

Of your chronic compassion fatigue

The final turd in the dungheap

Of every post-modern disease

Well, do you have the information

To decide whether you really care?

It's hard to believe you'd look me in the eye

And turn away again

[Chorus]

So please

Don't let it roll right by you

Just think

If the same thing happened to you

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

So please

Don't let it roll right by you

Just think

If the same thing happened to you

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

Would you be, would you be

Happy to walk in my shoes?

[Outro]

Well, are you in the situation

To decide whether you really care?

Oh, come on, you know that it's hard to complain

About the way you live, about the way you live

Are you in the situation?

Well, come on, you know that it's hard to complain

About the way you live
