You don't know me but I'm your brother.
I was raised here in this living hell.
You don't know my kind in your world.
Fairly soon the time will tell.

You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets.

Take this message to my brother.
You will find him everywhere.
Wherever people live together,
tied in poverty's despair.

Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for hidin', takin' it to the streets.

Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets,

3. Click on the YouTube link, rather than the arrow on Michael McDonald's face.

Try again if you like the song (it's a really good live version).

2. Bring them Home..........

Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
