我的朋友
Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues
你见过一个人失败吗
你知道那是什么感觉吗
走在街上高高抬起头
为什么，为什么，为什么
One day we're gonna wake up
哦，上帝心怀怜悯
And the ghetto's all around
你见过一个人失败吗
All over my friend
没有什么可怕
Have you ever seen a man break down
呼吸仇恨
我们必须面对
Do you know how that feels
没有人受得了，他们怎么能承受这么多
To walk the streets with your head held high
没有痛感
Why, why, why
你见过一个人失败吗
Oh Lord, have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down
There's nothing sacred
Breathing hatred
We have to face it
No one can take it （how can they take that much）
And feel no pain
Ooh did you ever see a man break down
