D'you Know What I Mean?
Step off the train all alone
at dawn
Back into the hole where
I was born
The sun in the sky never
raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax must
be mine
The fool on the hill and
I feel fine
Don't look back cos you
know what you might see
Look into the wall of my
mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't
know why
The questions are the answers
you might need
Coming in a mess going out
in style
I ain't good-looking but
I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air
that's mine to breathe
(Bridge)
I met my maker I made him
cry
And on my shoulder he asked
me why
His people won't fly through
the storm
I said "listen up man, they
don't even know you're born"
(Chorus)
All my people right here,
right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here,
right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here,
right now
D'you know what I mean?
Yeah, Yeah
I don't really care for what
you believe
So open up your fist or
you won't receive
The thoughts and the words
of every man you'll need
So get up off the floor
and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ask
you twice
Get on the bus and bring
it on home to me
