Listen little man
Little common man
There’s a world outside
Hanging on by a thread
You can turn your back
You can duck your head
Or you can fly, way up in the sky
So listen little man
Listen little man
Little common man
All the vessels are cracked
And your burden is heavy
The water is pouring
Out over the levee
But it’s not so grim, you know that you can swim
So listen little man
There’s a blackheart beast lurking in the abyss
And the whore of Babylon’s begging you for a kiss
Everyone you see is marching around in blinders
In case you needed any more reminders
So listen little man
Little common man
To the sound that’s coming
From that enemy within
It’s no victory song
From that broken violin
It’s just a dirge, time for you to emerge
Listen little man
