When the man spoke, the people listened   And they followed him to death   I was the closest to him   And this I must confess   That I never felt I had the chance to say   All the things that were in this heart of mine   They say you learn from your big mistakes   And I think its just about time that I...   Say it to you, say it to me   Say it to all of us   In perfect clarity (to all our families)   I'm so sick of people talkin' out of their ass   About the way things are today   They bitch and moan every time you see them   In their own peculiar ways   They're lunchin', they're munchin',   And then they start punchin'   'Cause they just can't get it straight.   What's the use in beating around the bush   Unless you're getting a little   I'm sick of living this life in vain   Black or white, love or spite   Just give me the facts on what you're feeling   I try to be patient but you're killing me...
