[Verse 1]
Well, I feel optimistic
And I just don't know why
If you want to be happy
My dear, well, so do I

[Refrain]
Folks, I need you to be kind
When you pick the pieces of my mind
I don't always feel alright

[Chorus]
Corporation street
Corporation street
Corporation street

[Verse 2]
If I am to be subject
To pain and misery
Well, maybe I won't mind, love
As long as you need me

[Refrain]
But I need you to be kind
When you pick the pieces of my mind
I don't always feel alright
[Chorus]
Corporation street
Corporation street
Corporation street

[Bridge]
So, wait your turn
I'm still reading what you've learned
But then I know and tease you for a while
And your crows can be a liar
And they treat you like a king
But they don't know you like they think

[Chorus]
Corporation street
Corporation street
Corporation street
Corporation street
Corporation street
(Corporation street)
Corporation street
(Corporation street)
Corporation street
