Guys on Every Corner

From the front door to the drugstore From the drugstore 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 'cause 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 'Cause 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 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 'Cause I got guys Guys on every corner
