Hey Matthew

I was sitting with Matthew
We were watching tv I said
Hey Matthew what do you see?
Do you see the guns? Do you see the bombs?
See those people throwing all of those stones?
Do you see the cars going up in flames?
See their faces do you know their names?
Hey Matthew when you're watching tv
Hey Hey Matthew what do you see?

Do you see the tension in a rich man's house?
Do you see the cat? Do you see the mouse?
Do you see the beauty or the big bad beast?
Do you see the famine? Do you see the feast?
In this world of villains do you see the crime?
Is a superhero waiting at the edge of time?
Hey Matthew when you're watching tv
I said Hey Hey Matthew what do you see?

I see Dallas Dynasty Terrahawks
He-Man Tom and Jerry Dukes of Hazzard
Airwolf Blue Thunder Rambo Road Runner
Daffy Duck The A-Team The A-Team I see the A-Team.

I was sitting with Matthew
We were watching tv
I said Hey Matthew
What'll you be?
Will you walk like a lion in the danger zone?
Will you pass unnoticed in the great unknown?
When you see the press out on a witch hunt
When you see a political publicity stunt
Will you fight for the right? Will you be a man?
Will you step aside? Will you give a damn?

Will you ride that tide with the starry eyed?
Will you give and take?
Will you laugh 'til you ache?
Will you learn to live?
Will you take? Will you give?
As the bridges burn will you live and learn? Will you be numbered with the brave and true? Well good luck kid here's lookin' at you.

In the future Matthew so bright and free
Hey Matthew what'll you be?
Hey Hey Matthew what'll you be?

I want to be a soldier street fighter be a policeman A captain of a boat - big boat
I want to be a magic man a cowboy
A train driver high jump champion
A fireman a pilot I want to be your friend.

It's all a game - I hope.

Hey Matthew
Hey Hey Matthew.

I hope
I hope
I hope
I hope.
