You went out on the street without your shoes on

You didn't listen what your momma said

She said you won't feel the benefit,
D/C# Bm
won't feel the benefit
Bm F#
And if we all went out without our shoes on

Tell me where would we be, where would we be
Bb C
If all the people in the world lost their reason
Am F Bb
What would we see, where would we be

To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves

Like the face behind the clown

You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown

And you can never look back
C
A leaf that's borne upon the wind

A cardboard suitcase in your hand
G
The wanderer soon returns
F
And finds the colour of the grass is just the same

On the other side of the tracks, oh no

Swinging your bolas in a red bandana

Bm7 F#
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
G
But if you do, you better do it right
D D/C# Bm
Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit
F#
Spin the wheel and take your chances
G
And your number might come up
D# D#/G C
Though the odds may be in favor of the house
Bb C
If all the people in the world would say together
Am F Bb
We're all black and white, we're all day and night
Bb C
If all the people in the world could sing together
Am F Bb F# D#
How would it sound, what would we feel
Bb F# D# Bb
We'd all feel the benefit
F# D# Bb
