words and music by Jonathan Ochshorn (copyright 1979 J. Ochshorn)
1. some people wait at the corner for the light to change
wait for the signal to tell them to go ahead
some people stand in the shadows as the cars go by
stand when they could be running the show instead
[chorus] well they’ll tell you it’s wrong and that you really should wait
but this life isn’t long and so before it’s too late
i’m jaywalking, i’m jaywalking, jaywalking, jaywalking to you
2. sometimes the light is on red for a long long time
seems like i might not get to the other side
i’ve seen a whole lot of people giving up the fight
no one is gonna say that i never tried [chorus]
[instrumental break; repeat verse 2; chorus]
