On the street you are listening to every beat of your heart
  Want to know if it's working and you're still alive
  On your feet you are walking around with your clothes torn apart
  In a nightmare where the question is how to survive
    In this dangerous land
  I'm trying the best that I can
  to be a respectable man
  So won't you listen won't you listen to me
    Chorus:
  I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
  I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
    On the street you are looking so hard for a place for the night
  All you want is understanding of your basic rights
    In this dangerous land
  I'm trying the best that I can
  to be a respectable man
  So won't you listen won't you listen to me
    Chorus:
  I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
  I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
  I'm crossing the line if you don't give me time on your television
  I've got something to say don't push me away
