about

Soulful song of satire and redemption. Great guitar work in the breakdown.

lyrics

Man sits on a bar stool where another dreamer used to be
He just lost his job, to another damn machine
What’s he gonna do now, how’s he supposed to feed his family
Lifts his hands above his head and then begins to say

(Chorus)
I can’t find my way up… seems like this world is crushing me
I can’t find my way up… ain’t no way out that I can see
I can’t find my way up… ain’t no help commin around
I can’t find my way up, but I’m too damn proud to back down

She’s sleepin' underneath a bridge, just to get out of the rain
She don’t care about much, with that needle in her vein
What’s she supposed to do now, when the whole world’s gone insane
She Lifts her hands above her head and then begins to say

(Chorus)

Downturn and down-trodden, unloved and forgotten, slippin thru the cracks of society
But people are still people and we all have our needs, so don’t step on my back for your greed

His eyes fill up with tears, as he looks up from the page
Another bubble bursts, along with every penny they saved
What they supposed to do now, when Mr. Man just looks away
They Lift their hands above her head and then begin to say

(Chorus)
