Crazy fall
twisting in
’round and ’round
the world caves in.
Step away to see clearly
what we’ve made.
Setting traps,
running sap.
All I do is sit and wonder.
Man of the world;
have I seen it all?
Have I known it all?
If I have, then shoot me now.
Man of the world;
I’ll never stop learning.
Man of the world;
his face twists into a smile,
’cause the lesson taught
is worth the lesson learned.
In the dark
he cries.
Sees them,
but he cannot save them.
Each person picks her own;
It’s better just to leave them,
than believe them.
He sways in wind like dry leaves blow,
he knows that he will never know.
If I learn it all then kill me now.
Man of the world;
does the sunshine feel different?
Man of the world;
does the shit always stay the same?
Man of the world;
are you the hero we’ve been looking for?
Our Christ to crucify
and call our own?
Man of the world?
