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 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
