Way down here on these dead end streets
    People live in doubt and fear
    And it kept them down for oh so long
    Now their time is getting near
    I don't know where
    I don't know how
    I don't know when
    But I'll tell you right now
    
    [Chorus:]
    One of these days you'll cross that line
    The people gonna take you by surprise
    The're gonna look their leaders in the eye (yeah)
    One of these days you'll cross that line
    The people gonna think with their own minds
    They're gonna leave the system for behind (yeah)
    
    How many of us spend our lives
    On the outside lookin in
    Well it seems they got us all convinced
    That we're never gonna win
    I don't know where
    I don't know how
    I don't know when
    But I'll tell you right now
    
    [Chorus]
    
    [Bridge]
    Do you really think we'll ever stop
    Lookin for as brighter day
    While it looks today like you're on top
    It could neverstay that way
