G D# F G

I know a man who doesn't have many friends,

G D# F C

I know a place where he lives where trouble never ends,

G D# F G

I know it's hard for him to read 'tween the lines,

D F G D# G D# F

and his day are getting so much shorter,



G D# F G

he simply turns away instead of bearing down,

G D#

his ship is crumbling,

F C

his crew is one of the clowns,

G D# F G

he doesn't care as long as he can wear the crown,

D F G

I know this man all too well,



D# F

it's my poor friend me,

D G

a portrayal of the great dichotomy

 

(a reminder of a tragic history),

D# F

it's my poor friend me

D G D# G D# F

and I'm running out of steam



I know there are people who are cynical and vane,

they point their finger cuz they can't accept the blame,

they live their lives under a blanket of shame and their 

progeny crawl from underneath it,



D# A#

lately I've come to see the solution,

F G

and it begins with me,

D# A#

but I'm so fallibly human,

F D

I've picked the lot, but will not turn the key
