Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
Walking through a city built to overlook
The ones whose names don't make it in the book
Promises get printed, promises get broke
Every empty statement is another empty joke
[chorus]
Tell me why the ones on top don't seem to care
Tell me why the struggle never seems quite fair
We keep asking, keep on knocking at the door
Just to be seen, just to matter more
[verse]
Every headline talks about a brighter day
While the same old story just gets in the way
Somebody's counting profits while the people wait
Somebody's writing checks for a smaller fate
[chorus]
Tell me why the ones on top don't seem to care
Tell me why the struggle never seems quite fair
We keep asking, keep on knocking at the door
Just to be seen, just to matter more
[bridge]
We're not asking for a favor, just a fair exchange
A little bit of justice, a little bit of change
Raise your voice until the silence has to break
Until they finally hear what's at stake
[chorus]
Tell me why the ones on top don't seem to care
Tell me why the struggle never seems quite fair
We keep asking, keep on knocking at the door
Just to be seen, just to matter more
