The sun sets across the ocean
  I'm a thousand mile from anywhere
  And my pocketbook in my heart
  Both just got stolen
  And the sun act like she don't even care
  The wind blows cold when you reach the top
  Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
  Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
  Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do
  
  Well I've been down so long
  It can't be that much longer still
  And I've been down for so long
  That the end must be drawing near
  
  I looked to everybody but me
  To answer my prayers
  Until I found an angel in the bathroom
  Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere
  And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin -
  Don't matter what side it lands on
  So long as it's somebody else's dime"
  Cause if you're the top of the bottom
  It all feels the same
  We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
  Guess all I can do is muster up some change
  And a little bit of faith
  And take some dignity when I walk through this door
  
  Gonna take a trip
  Catch a train
  Got a ticket in my hand
  And then a fat man takes my money
  And like cattle we all stand
  I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
  In a thousand people I do not know
  But really they are no different from me
  They all have passion
  They all have fear
  They all have intense confusion
  And no sweet moments that are clear
  They all have aspirations
  High hopes and dreams
  And are really that alone like me
  
  We've been down so long
  It can't be that much longer still
  We've been down so long
  That the end must be...
  The end must be...
  The end must be drawing near
