Michael Reich - Century Man

Century man
The sun came up just like it always does Shine down bright on the town Somewhere in between the violence and the greed Love was trying hard to gain some ground Nobody paid attention no one did see The writing there on the wall The virgin mary sheds another tear Traffic is slowing to a crawl
And you wonder if you will be forgiven For that hole that you left in the sky What will remain for your children Other than to cry Century man

Down by the river where the big turbines whine Their passing out potassium iodide Thanks for your concern but don't you mean to say Somewhere along the line somebody lied Standing on top of all you've achieved Looking for the measure of your worth Is it animals extinct water you cant drink Or buildings to cover up the earth
It keeps on getting harder to turn the other cheek When controversy is howling at your door What's bad is good what's good is bad I guess it doesn't matter anymore A nasty wind is blowing out of the east Cold enough to give you the chills The good samaritan just got sued I'm westbound and headed for the hills
