Our Lady of San Francisco [Portuguese translation]

I met a woman in San Francisco

Who was lyin' in the street

I walked on past her in a hurry

I didn't want her at my feet

Am I just numb or overloaded

Or have I lost all sense of worth?

This lady beggin' for survival

Doomed by a twist of fate from birth

I met this woman in San Francisco

She only had one shoe

Have we all gone crazy?

How can this happen?

Is there nothin' we can do?

I don't believe that for a fuckin' minute

No system's comin' to her rescue

While she lay crying, I felt helpless

Where are these cracks

That she fell through?

The times we live in have less value

Than Bob Dole's useless arm

There are no fires burning brightly

What's even worse

There's no alarm

I met this lady in San Francisco

She was dyin' at my feet

People passed her like she was nothin'

Less than garbage in the street

The times we live in must have value

We can't all turn away

'Cos that woman who had nothin'

Might be me or you

Some day

Some day

Some day

Some day
