Lyrics
Hey Stranger
Hey Stranger, Hey man in the streets
When’s the last time you slept, you eat
Would anyone cry if you died or would they just walk by
Hey Stranger, corporate man on the rise
How much did you steal, when you closed your last deal?
How many got fired, retired to cut to the bottom line
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you tell me
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you sell me?
Would you walk down that road again
Hey stranger, politician shake my hand
Expensive promises made you cant keep
If I vote for you, taxes are through
Together we’ll go down in history
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you tell me
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you sell me?
Would you walk down that road again
Hey Stranger, Preacher can you pray for my soul
Can you save my life can you make if all right
Can you spare some change, so I can pay for my sins
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you tell me
If I asked you the road that you took
Would you sell me?
If I asked you the road to salvation
Would you show me, would you know me
Would you walk down that road again.
