I met a woman in San Francisco
Who was lyin´ in the street
I walked on past 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 lady beggin´ for 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 nothin´ we can do

I don´t believe that for a fuckin minute
No system´s comin´ to her rescue
While she lay crying
I felt helpless
Where are these crack
That she fell through

The times we live in have less value
Than Bob Dole´s useless arm
There are no fires burning 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 nothin´
Less than garbage in the street

The times we live in must have value
We can´t all turn away
´cos that woman who had nothin´
Might be me or you
Some day
Some day
Some day

Some day
