Lyrics
Written by Mark Croft
Do you see what I see
or is it only me here in a masquerade?
Do you feel how I feel?
Trapped behind these bars of molten steel
1500 hundred tons of iron cage
They’re doing everything to cover up our eyes
Who could be so wretched not to sympathize?
Waiting like a leopard in the sugar cane
Who am I?
I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
Who are we?
We’re just simple fools out in the streets
With our hearts out on display
Did you cry Novocain?
A little medicine to kill this pain tonight
‘Cause I can see it on your face
Do you know what I know?
The only thing to do is pick yourself and get up and go
And leave it all behind
‘Cause I could fill up every note and fill up each refrain
With the beating of a heart fill up w/ love and pain
Oh, but would that suffice?
My oh my now
Who am I?
I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
Who are we?
We’re just simple fools out in the streets
With our hearts out on display
Poets can do without rhythm and rhyme
And hearts can still beat without air for a time
Souls can be covered with dirt and decay
But ain’t it bout time that we washed it away…washed it away
Who am I?
I’m just a mere poet spinning rhymes
So who am I to say?
Who are we?
We’re just simple fools out in the streets
With our hearts out on display
Who I am?
I’ve asked myself ten-thousand seven-hundred and sixty-five
times since yesterday
Who are we?
We’re just simple fools out in the streets
With our hearts out on display
