Is this your neighborhood, do you recognize the signs?
Do the faces in the street match the pictures in your mind?
They say that every dog will have its day
Now they're chasing you away as if you were a stray
Turned away, turned away for now
Turned away, turned away for now
You're willing to bow your head, smile and serve
When you can't even find a place for less than you're worth
Compromise is the disguise that you have worn
You were put in your place since the minute you were born
You got turned away, turned away for now
Turned away, turned away for now
The ones you used to know don't call you anymore
To preoccupied to open up the door
Are you hearing voices that whisper in your ear?
Are you waiting for the chance to make them disappear?
Can they be turned away, turned away for now?
Can they be turned away, turned away for now?
