oh, i'm very much your peer

I saw so many depart like that/ all they'd ask for was a light/ theu settled for so little/ they had so little anger in them/ i hear their steps/ i hear their voices/ speaking of things quite banal/ like things you read in the papers/ like things you say evenings at home/ what are they doing to you, men and women/ you tender stones worn down too soon/ your appearances broken/ my heart goes out at the sight of you/ things are what they are/ from time to time the earth trembles/ misfortune only misfortune resembles/ so deep, so deep, so deep/ you long to believe in blue skies/ it's a feeling i know quite well/ i still believe at certain times/ i still believe, i must admit/ but i can't believe my ears/ oh, yes, i'm very much your peer/ i am just the same as you/ like you, like a grain of sand/ like the blood forever spilt/ like the fingers always wounded/ yes, i'm your fellow creature
