Been Down So Long Lyrics

The sun sets across the oceanI'm a thousasnd mile from anwyhereAnd my pocketbook in my heartBoth just got stolenAnd the sun act like she don't even careThe wind blows cold when you reach the topFeels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoeGot a plastic jesus and a ...???... corner of my roomGot everybody but you tellin' me what to do***Well I've been down so longIt can't be that much longer stillAnd I've been down for so longThat the end must be drawing near***I looked to everybody but meTo answer my prayersUntil I found an angel in the bathroomWho said she didn't see anybody who was savin anywhereAnd the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin -Don't matter what side it lands onSo long as it's somebody else's dime"Cause if you're the top of the bottomIt all feels the sameWe live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poorFuess all I can do is museter up some changeAnd little bit of faithAnd take some dignity when I walk through this door*** (Chorus)Gonna take a tripCatch a trainGot a ticket in my handAnd then a fat man takes my moneyAnd like cattle we all standI'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless seaIn a thousand people I do not knowBut really they are no different from meThey all have passionThey all have fearThey all have intense confusionAnd no sweet moments that are clearThey all have aspirationsHigh hopes and dreamsAnd are really that alone like me***We've been down so longIt can't be that nmuch longer stillWe've been down so longThat the end must be...The end must be...The end must be drawing near
