[Intro]
Where do we go?
(Anybody know?)
Who do we call?
(There goes it all)
The lights go out
(The power’s gone)
We look around
(And carry on)
[Verse 1]
They told us they had answers
(They told us they knew)
They drew up all the plans
(And told us what to do)
But when the trouble started
(When the pressure came)
The people in the towers
(Couldn’t play the game)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s gonna fix it?
(Who’s gonna know?)
Who’s gonna lead us?
(Where do we go?)
[Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)
[Verse 2]
The street keeps moving
(The street survives)
People find a way
(To keep their lives)
A neighbor brings a bucket
(Another brings some food)
Crankin’ up a ruckus
(We’re all in the mood)
Not for money
(Not for fame)
Not because somebody
(Told them who’s to blame)
Just a little human instinct
(A little common sense)
When everything gets difficult
(You build a new defense)
[Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)
[Bridge]
Who’s got water?
(I do!)
Who’s got shelter?
(How ’bout you?)
Who’s got knowledge?
(I do!)
Who’s got love?
(How ’bout you?)
[Break]
Left us all alone!
(Guess we’re on our own!)
But look around…
(Look what’s found)
… when we’re all love bound
[Instrumental]
[Piano and acoustic guitar]
[Organ swell]
[Saxophone solo]
[Drums build]
[Final Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)
Left us all alone…
(Guess we’re on our own…)
But the street…
(Still has a beat)
Couldn’t compete?
(We’ll complete!)
Dance to the beat!
(Bringin’ on the heat!)
[Outro]
On our own…
(On our own…)
Not alone…
(Not alone…)
Beat by beat…
(Street by street…)
We carry on.
(On and on and on)
