Verse 1
G
They lie, the men who tell us
C
For reasons of their own,
want is here a stranger
G
Miseries unknown,
where the nearest suburb
C
and the city proper meet
My windowsill is level
G
with the faces in the street
Drifting past, drifting past
C
to the feet of weary feet
I sorrow for the owners
G
of the faces in the street
And cause I have to sorrow
C
in a land so young and fair
To see upon those faces
G
the marks of wanton care
And I look in vain for traces
C
of the fresh and fair and sweet
In the sallow, sunken faces
G
that are drifting through the street
Drifting on, drifting on
C
to the scrape of restless feet
I sorrow for the owners
G
C
G
C
of the faces in the street
G
And I wonder would the apathy
C
of wealthy men endure
For all their windows level
G
with the faces of the poor
Come mammon slaves,
your knees shall knock,
C
your hearts in terror beat
When your God demands a reason
G
for the sorrows of the street
The wrong things and the bad things,
C
and the sad things that we meet
In the filthy lane and alley,
G
C
G
C
and the cruel and heartless street
G
And I cried, God Almighty,
C
if I might I'd still endure
Now show me inner vision,
G
for the wrongs of earth are cure
And low, with shops all shuttered,
C
I saw a city street
And in the warning distance
G
heard the trampled mimey feet
Pouring on, pouring on
C
to a drum's loud threatening beat
And the war hymns
and the cheering
G
C
G
C
of the people in the street
G
So it must be that while the world
C
goes rolling round its course
The warning pen shall write it faint,
G
the warning voice grow hoarse
And kindle lies all blazing bright,
C
the revolution's heat
And flashing swords
G
reflecting rigid faces in the street
Coming near, coming near
C
to a drum's dull distant beat
Then I saw the army
G
that was marching down the street
C
G
Drifting on, drifting on, drifting on
C
Faces in the street
G
Pour it on
C
Pour it on
G
Pour it on
C
Faces in the street
G
Coming near
C
Coming near
G
Coming near
C
Faces in the street
G
Drifting past,
C
Drifting past,
G
Drifting past,
C
G
Faces in the street
