Take this message to my brother.
You will find him everywhere.
Wherever people live together.
Tied in poverty’s despair.
Oh, you… You tellin’ me the things you’re gonna do for me.
I ain’t blind… and I don’t like what I think I see.
(Takin’ it to the streets.)
Takin’ it to the streets!
(Takin’ it to the streets.)
No more need for hid-in’!
(Takin’ it to the streets.)
Takin’ it, takin’ it!
(Takin’ it to the streets.)
Lyrics from “Takin’ It to the Streets” by the Doobie Brothers, 1976.
