See where I come from
You never wanna go there too
'Cause it's not a very safe place to be
See where I belong
And you never wanna be there too
'Cause it's not the only nowhere to go

See all the people standing in line
On their way to tomorrow

Yeah, she likes me
Yeah, she does not care
And she sympathizes with things I dare
Calmly crossing down by the riverside
Throwing stones into the rising tide

See where I come from
You never wanna go there too
'Cause it's not a very safe place to be
See where I belong
And you never wanna be there too
'Cause it's not the only nowhere to go

See all the people standing in line
On their way to tomorrow

Yeah, she likes me
Yeah, she does not care
And she sympathizes with things I dare
Calmly crossing down by the riverside
Throwing stones into the rising tide

When I come home to the neighborhood that I'm from
I justify decisions that were made on the run
It's okay, it's alright
I can see the stars tonight
And the men in space are crying
'Cause the little kids are dying
Down by your riverside
