Grand Canyon Lyrics - Stranglers

I've been standing on the poor man side 

Looking across the great divide 

At the people with the money 

But they never look across at me 

I see things that you wouldn't believe 

The respectable man taking money like a thief 

And he don't give a damn 

For the mouths he could feed 

Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon 

The space between us gonna break my heart

There's the man who thinks different from me 

So he had me thrown in his jail 

He talks a lot about freedom 

Then he throws away the key 

And here's a man with a different coloured skin 

You know he's suspicious of me 

He thinks I'll steal his wife 

He thinks I'll steal his colour t.v 

Repeat chorus 

There you are on the other side 

Walking away from me 

I call to you 

But you can't hear the word I say 

Photos 

I'm standing on the poor man side 

Looking across the great divide 

At the people in the world 

But they never look across at me
