Analysis of Always
I always check both ways before crossing the street
Fold my clothes, nice and neat
But at the end of the day when I turn on the T.V. What do I see?
War, murder, and chaos in the street
I always brush my teeth
And change my sheets
But who's that man staring at me?
All I want is safety
