I Know a Man
It's been years, he's been hereAnd time just lingers and no one knowsHe's got eyes, he's got earsHe's got all his fingers and all his toesHis is a life of observationMaybe one day he'll get to translate this informationFor twenty years he hasn't spoken a wordHe's been silent since the accident occurredWhile so many people taken tongues for grantedTaking the truth finding ways to slant itI know a man who'd know what to doSo many people go day in day outJust dreaming up things they can bitch aboutI know a man who'd know what to doIt's a dream, but for him it's realAnd it never goes awayAnd it never willHe's in touch with what he feelsAh but he just can't sayMaybe it's better stillHis is a life of endless frustrationHe's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliationCan't lift a finger to stop what's wrongHe can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles' songWhile so many people taken spines for grantedSlither and squirm, taken what they're handedSongtexteI know a man who'd know what to doSo many people go day by daySitting on their hands constantly complainingI know a man who'd know what to doSo many content to exist like sheepNever scratching the surfaceOf themselves too deepI know a man who'd know what to doSo many people like you and meNever realizing what our lives could beI know a man who'd know what to do Aus Songtexte Mania
