00:02 [MUSIC - THE KING OF SHOWS, "WHAT ABOUT ME"]

00:04 There's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop.

00:09 He's been waiting down there, waiting every day.

00:13 They never, ever see him from the top.

00:16 He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground.

00:20 He gets to his feet and he says, what about me?

00:28 It isn't fair, I've had enough.

00:31 Now I want my share.

00:33 Can't you see I want to live?

00:37 But you just take more than you give.

00:42 So take a step back and see the little people.

00:49 They may be young, but they're the ones who make the big, big,

00:55 big profits on this front.

00:59 As they whisper, what about me?

01:05 And now I'm standing on the corner of the world's gone home.

01:11 Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved,

01:15 and I'm feeling cold and alone.

01:18 I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot.

01:22 But sometimes I wish for more than I've got.

01:31 What about me?

01:33 It isn't fair, I've had enough.

01:37 Now I want my share.

01:39 Can't you see I want to live?

01:43 But you just take more.

01:47 You just take more.

01:50 You just take more than you give.

01:57 What about me?

01:59 What about me?
