Magic Mirror

歌詞

I'm standing by the highway Suitcase by my side There's no place I want to go I just thought I'd catch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the thieves I am a bandit The mothers think I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm imprisoned by everything I own To the soldier I'm just someone else who's dying to go home The general sees a number, a politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal in this whirlpool Magic mirror won't you tell me please Do I find myself in anyone I see? Magic mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policeman I'm suspicious it's in the way I look I'm just another character to fingerprint and book To the censors I'm pornography with no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer without a face The sellers think I'm merchandise, they'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right, The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quiet reflection I wonder why Magic mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet? Magic mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would
