I am the painted man With a frown on my face And a language you don't understand A wild refugee That is all you people can see I am the painted man With a smile on my lips And a living tattoo on my hand That's no guarantee Of the truth you people can see Why - With poison so strong in our hearts And the world torn apart Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain Can't you see that we're painted the same? I am the painted man With bile in my veins From a dark and sinister plan Blind and deceived That is all you people believe I am the painted man No thought for the world I was here when the nightmare began Wrongly conceived That is all you people believe Why - With poison so strong in our hearts And the world torn apart Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain Can't you see that we're painted the same? Come down from your ivory towers Corruption devours us all Come down from your ivory towers The hunger devours us all
