Such a Man

It bothers me it's really frightening how the facts
They can
and do
The facts they can and do so often get so twisted
Your arms are raised
in righteous indignation
This voodoo doll is writhing with the stab of every
pinprick
The uneasiness accompanying every fresh
The sting of each
consecutive injection

You only see
Only see what you think you need to
see
Only know what you deem you dare to know
Leaking sympathy empathy

Strictly measured doses
God forbid by mistake that some of it should comfort
me
Should rub off upon the likes of such a man
Should rub off upon the likes
of such a man

This tale of woe this tale of woe
This long and meaningless
deception
A road a road with one direction
It's a road that often leads
More
often than not
The path that paves the way to alienation

You only
see
Only see what you think you need to see
Only know what you deem you dare
to know
Leaking sympathy empathy
Strictly measured doses
God forbid by
mistake that some of it should comfort me
Should rub off upon the likes of
such a man
Should rub off upon the likes of such a man
Such a man
Should rub
off should rub off
On the likes such a man
Should rub off on a man
Man like
me
Should rub off should rub off
Upon the likes of such a man
A man the
likes of me
