Songtexte: Philosophize. Street Corner.

Verse 1
You live your life in your house that has so many memories
And they have built up inside the walls over all of the years
Imagine all things that have happened here for centuries
Then expand this and think about the entire community
There are generations of people with stories to give
So think about all that has happened and all the negatives
And it has all happened right here where you live your life
And before you came along where you're standing people died
Throughout the streets there's pain and we're all unaware
The land is stained with a mark of an unseen despair
In the dark people sit in the park to let their worries fade
In the day the kids play unaware of the parks dismay
If the memories of people walked the streets like spirits
We could see the stories of people and we wouldn't believe it
Where you live see the previous owner beat his kids
Then see how tainted the ground is where we all live
Witness murders and wars occur on the ground you walk
See the all suffering in the places where you sit and talk
Go to the picnic site and see a girl held down by some men
Our land has been covered with the taking of innocence
The world that we live in is made with blood and hate
If the world's memories came alive Hell would have opened up its gates
We would see what humans all are once we look under the skin
See every detail of suffering that we have chosen to give
The horrors of reality that we all leave in the past
Would come and show us what we'll create in the future

Chorus
Out on the street corner
The boy and girl first kissed
Out on the street corner
Happily play the kids
Out on the street corner
The drug dealer works
Out on the street corner
The hooker sells herself
Out on the street corner
No one is safe
Out on the street corner
The girl gets raped
Out on the street corner
Is a reflection on life
Out on the street corner
Boy kills himself in the night

Verse2
I walk the streets and see people breaking all the laws
All these things in the past that we are unaware of
I see murder and rape I see so much drugs getting sold
Then watch those who take them fade away and turn cold
Within the loneliness that fills up the local park
A couple kneel and face then they leave their mark
They scrape their initials and a love heart into the tree
Just before they finally have their very first kiss
They grow old and get married and it's the first good thing I see
But under the ground where they kissed a murdered man was buried
Where I walk I see myself and my life over the years
And I see the faces of my past that bring me to tears
And as we travel through the past we all feel hurt
As we unearth the truth that we buried in the dirt
The past and the stories which where never ever told
The ones that will rot into existence as they all grow old
You will see your own story and see your younger face
And in the past you will see your evitable fate

Chorus
Out on the street corner
The boy and girl first kissed
Out on the street corner
Happily play the kids
Out on the street corner
The drug dealer works
Out on the street corner
The hooker sells herself
Out on the street corner
No one is safe
Out on the street corner
The girl gets raped
Out on the street corner
Is a reflection on life
Out on the street corner
Boy kills himself in the night

Verse3
I see on the side of roads R I P written where their was death
If we all knew the truth rest in peace would be everywhere
Unless the course of the future sharply changes direction
The future will can be seen in the previous generations
History is the future because this shit doesn't change
The spirits from the past want to lead us to new ways
But they can't speak their stories are all forgotten
Lost in the course of time like they are slowly rotting
The street that you live on is coloured with pain
And it can never been cleaned even with years of rain
The existence of life shows the only certainty
Death?but the question is if it was necessary
If we experience the past we could visualise real life
Living is feeling pain so we realise that we're alive
We must open our eyes to the past and experience reality
See the truth in the past see all tragedies
See yourself in the people who have been here before
And see that we are the future that will lead to the storm
We are the course because nothing is ever altered
The problems that we have we have to solve it
All I see for the future is the end of life we can control it
Take the future in our hands because we must mould it

Chorus
Out on the street corner
The boy and girl first kissed
Out on the street corner
Happily play the kids
Out on the street corner
The drug dealer works
Out on the street corner
The hooker sells herself
Out on the street corner
No one is safe
Out on the street corner
The girl gets raped
Out on the street corner
Is a reflection on life
Out on the street corner
Boy kills himself in the night
