Does anyone who works want to know what it's like to be unemployed?
Does anyone who sings want to know what it's like to have no voice?
Does anyone who walks want to know what it's like to be paralyzed?
Does anyone who lives want to know what it's like to die?
The facts of life are full of pain and suffering
So be grateful for what you have
It's not always greener on the other side
Sometimes you'll find just despair
Does anyone who's healthy want to know what it's like to be sick?
Does anyone who's rich want to know what it's like to be poor?
Does anyone who's free want to know what it's like to be a prisoner?
Does anyone who sees want to know what it's like to be blind?
Well, the questions spin inside my mind
But no answers I can find anymore
It's just as if life has no meaning
Will somebody answer my prayers
Does anyone who cries wanna know what it's like to smile?
Does anyone who eats want to know what it's like to starve?
Does anyone who's drugged want to know what it's like to be straight?
Does anyone who fights want to know what it's like to have no war?
War
People I see with faces all twisted round
They beg in the lonely streets
Silently sleeping in the gutters
Dreaming of better times long gone
Does anyone who sees want to know what it's like to be blind?
Does anyone who eats want to know what it's like to starve?
Does anyone who fights want to know what it's like to have no war?
Does anyone who lives wanna know what it's like to die?
