J. spinkst. lewis I still remember what I saw last night Three small kids stealing money from a poor man Now that ainв't right - no that ainв't right Iв'm still thinking в'bout the things I heard Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word - and itв's all so absurd But times are changing now an d I still care There must be something we can do out there Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby I keep on walkinв' through these run down streets Graffiti walls - this ainв't nothing like it used to be Not for you or for me This townв's never been so down before Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in The second world war Oh but what was that for So many people gave their lives for this Thereв's nothing left for us to reminisce Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby When those sad days were over Iв'm sure they all thought that weld won But now as I look around Weв're still invaded by everyone Things wonв't ever be the same again Iв've not lost a town - Iв've lost my only friend Oh but where does it end Weв'll never change these times with good intent But right now I know I donв't feel content Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby Iв'm like a stranger in my own town baby
