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
