Old man by the corner, sitting outside his home,
Nothing to do today, sitting outside all alone,
Says the world's out to get him, and maybe it is,
But he's safe in the subway; the subway is his,
Here is a man who is learned and wise,
The world sees him as a failure; it's written in his eyes,
Says the world's out to get him, and maybe it is,
But he's safe in the subway; the subway is his.

Warren, I don't want to hurt you,
Warren, I'm not gonna lie,
Warren, there's no one here to love you,
And it hurts, so I sit here and cry.

Old man's by the corner; still he sees through our lies,
Warren, he don't like our desperate world - I'm not surprised,
The computer's put to get him, it's put lines on his face,
Warren's living the existence of a nonexistent race.

Warren, I don't want to hurt you,
Warren, I'm not gonna lie,
Warren, there's no one here to love you,
And it hurts, so I sit here and cry.

Warren, ooh,
Warren, ooh.

Warren, I don't want to hurt you,
Warren, I'm not gonna lie,
Warren, there's no one here to love you,
And it hurts, so I sit here and cry,
Warren, I don't want to hurt you,
Warren, I'm not gonna lie,
Warren, there's no one here to love you,
And it hurts, so I sit here and cry.
