Guys on Every Corner Lyrics
From the front door
To the drug store
From the drug store
To the bakery
From the loading dock
To the chimes of the city clock
They're about
To make their play for me
But I will rise
I will rise
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
With your tabloid stars
And your unmarked cars
With your special forces
And your inside sources
With your radar fields
And your riot shields
And heavy horses
I'm coming to swat you down like flies
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
They don't look so special
T-shirts and tennis shoes
Blank expressions
A couple of Chicago guys
A robust East Bay delegation
(Wooo)
From the far ends of the Earth
They have loosely gathered
To stand in doorways
Making small talk
About the weather
They look like nothing
They look like your neighbors
You won't remember their faces later
Run like rats
Look to the skies
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
To the drug store
From the drug store
To the bakery
From the loading dock
To the chimes of the city clock
They're about
To make their play for me
I will rise
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
And your unmarked cars
With your special forces
And your inside sources
With your radar fields
And your riot shields
And heavy horses
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
T-shirts and tennis shoes
Blank expressions
A couple of Chicago guys
A robust East Bay delegation
(Wooo)
They have loosely gathered
To stand in doorways
Making small talk
About the weather
They look like nothing
They look like your neighbors
You won't remember their faces later
Look to the skies
'Cuz I got guys
Guys on every corner
