The city was changing The cigarette hit the spot
Oh a simple distraction From to have and have not
And the radio went silent And all our heroes had died
Now you can buy revolution In any color or size
Standing on a corner Watching people walk on
Thinking about a photograph
How so many people Choose a lesser evil
Living in the aftermath
She never got famous She was the star in my life
Til we drifted like runoff Or two ships in the night
Standing on a corner Watching people walk on
Thinking about a photograph
How so many people Choose a lesser evil
Living in the aftermath
It's such a long hard road, such a long hard road
To hold on, and move on
I hope she's happy, I hope she's free
Somehow we choose our own destiny
>From the eye of destruction To the valley of tears Before it all went to voice mail And we rang in the year
And the mid-night martyrs They still hang on the cross
You can die in the gutter baby Or learn to live with the loss
Standing on a corner Watching people walk on
Feeling like a photograph
How so many people Choose a lesser evil
Living in the aftermath
Standing on a corner Everbody's talking
Remember when we used to laugh
How so many people Chose a lesser evil
Never giving peace a chance
It's such a long hard road To hold on and move on boys
To hold on and move on til its gone
