Dangerous Man

(album: Waking Up With The House On Fire - 1984)

He could word it out
like a dangerous man
How could you value his intentions
Martin had the devil
just like anyone can
He spoke words they were frightened to mention
Yesterday ain't gone
We just pushed it aside
Out in the jungle
There ain't nowhere you can hide
There's a different smile
on your face today
Though you wear it well
there's a lot to say
There's a different mood
in the world tonight
If we can do it good
we can do it right
John he washed it over
with a confidence tan
I know peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet
with his masterplan
Build them up it's so sad they forget you
Yesterday ain't gone
We just pushed it aside
Out in the jungle
There ain't nowhere you can hide
Are we not men
did you save us?
Are we not men
did you try, did you try?
We have been, we have been, we have been, we have been
denied
I could word it out
like a dangerous man
If they landed here
we'd collect them
Yellow, black or white here in the circus of men
I don't know
I don't care
I forget you
