Walking on the ragged streets of time 
A man is asking if there is a dime 
Someone can spare. 
No one pays him any mind, 
But surely someone sees him there a-crying 
When no one's there. 
And the washed out whore demands 
The bottle in his hands. 
Ah, Mister, don't you weep, 
God knows we've tried to keep 
The Golden Rule and the 
Top Ten commandments. 

You can't believe the thing you've seen 
On the midnight TV screen 
And nightmare sent by satellite. 
Rain fire falling from the skies 
A mother holds her baby and cries 
And day for us for them is night. 

And love is just a word we preach 
For who can learn what none will teach. 
Ah, people, don't you weep, 
God knows we've tried to keep 
The Golden Rule and the 
Top Ten commandments. 

 And moving across on the city street 
A neighbor tried to find his feet 
And fell on down and slipped to ruin. 
The bystanders are all standing by 
Watching from corners of their eyes 
Wondering what on earth can he be doing. 

With a faith nobody shared 
And a love nobody dared 
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, 
Someday we'll learn to keep 
The Golden Rule and the 
Top Ten commandments.
