Try to read the lyrics for this song... The first time a heard it a year or two ago i liked it. A while ago I studied the lyrics a little closer and now I love it!

"As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you (2x)
Would you take everything (2x)
For granted like you do

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
And most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do (2x)
If it was you (2x)
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

You turn away (x4)
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxicabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do"

Staind are nothing but pussy rockers now, they were better before MTV got to them.

Staind always sucked. They've always sounded the same. When were they not on MTV?

I didn't even know they had a CD before they jumped onboard with Fred Durst. I still doubt I'd like it, though, but I'll look into it at least.

"Open Your Eyes" is one of the best songs on Break the Cycle. I didn't know the words very well, but after seeing them listed on the first page of this thread I have an even greater appreciation for the song.
