Man on the Street
(album: Fly the Flag)
the man on the street --
he doesn´t know my name
but i am sure we´re not at all the same
man on the street -- ou know he looks like me
but he´ll never know all the things i´ve seen
see him and there´s no enmity --
sometimes there´s jealousy
but would you be him? i don´t think so
no a hair is out of place -- he sets the pace
and he´s a step ahead of me
the man on the street --
he doesn´t look at me
and if he did i wonder what he sees
he might be kind; he might be alright
are his concerns so far away from mine?
see him and there´s no problem --
thought he always looks so cold
but would you be him? i don´t think so
not a stich out of place -- he sets the pace
and he´s just a step ahead
he keeps a step ahead of me
he lives as expected
secure and protected
the world won´t affect him
and so i reject him now
i feel so different, though i might no look so
you can wear the costume, but do you march in time?
there´s so many targets in the world to see
feel the dirt of rebellion beneath your feet!
