Our Lady Of San Francisco Songtext / Lyric

I met a woman in San Francisco

Who was lyin' in the street

I walked on past her in a hurry

I didn't want her at my feet



Am I just numb or overloaded

Or have I lost all sense of worth

This lady beggin' for survival

Doomed by a twist of fate from birth



i met this woman in San Francisco

She only had one shoe

Have we all gone crazy

How can this happen

Is there nothin' we can do






I don't believe that for a fuckin minute

No system's comin' to her rescue

While she lay crying

I felt helpless

Where are these crack

That she fell through



The times we live in have less value

Than Bob Dole's useless arm

There are no fires burning brightly

What's even worse

There's no alarm



I met this lady in San Francisco

She was dyin' at my feet

People passed her like she was nothin'

Less than garbage in the street



The times we live in must have value

We can't all turn away

'cos that woman who had nothin'

Might be me or you

Some day

Some day

Some day

Some day
