While You Were Looking At Me Lyrics - Singles - Monroe Michael

While you were looking at me 

The world passed you by 

You held your prejudice sacred 

And left your dreams behind 

While you were looking at me 

The homeless stayed in the streets 

You learned to drink poisoned water 

But never learned how to read 

Well it's easy to put the blame on someone else 

But it's hard to see yourself 

Did you ever take a good look at yourself? 

While you were looking at me 

Airport security died 

And the smugglers and the terrorists 

Just walked right by 

'Cause they don't dress like me 

They dress like you 

They wear suits and ties 

Like all you hypocrites do 

Well it's easy to point your finger at someone else 

But it's hard to see yourself 

Ain't it hard to take a good look at yourself? 

While you were looking at me 

Businessmen bled you dry 

You lost control of your government 

It's getting scary outside! 

While you were looking at me 

Your children took the fall 

Trying to be Mommy and Daddy 

With dope and alcohol 

You censor people like me 

But it won't do you no good 

The truth's gonna get through 

No matter what you do 

While you were looking at me...
