Lyrics:

Oh, 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



Oh, 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



Down a long hard road

Such a long hard road

To hold on and move on



And I hope she's happy

And I hope she's free

Somehow we choose our own destiny



From the eve of destruction

To the valley of tears

Before it all went to voice mail

And we rang in the year



And the midnight martyrs

Well, they still hang on the cross

You can die in the gutter baby

Or learn to live with the loss



Well, I've standing on a corner watching people walk on

Thinking about a photograph

How so many people choose a lesser evil?

Living in the aftermath



Well, I keep standing on a corner, everybody's talking

Remember when we used to laugh?

How so many people choose a lesser evil?

Never giving peace a chance



Down a long hard road

Such a long hard road

To hold on and move on



Down a long hard road

Such a long hard road

To hold on and move on, boys

To hold on and hold on till it's gone
