Century Man Lyrics - Singles - Michael Reich

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 DONT YOU MEAN TO SAY 

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE SOMEBODY LIED 

STANDING ON TOP OF ALL YOUVE ACHIEVED 

LOOKING FOR THE MEASURE OF YOUR WORTH 

IS IT ANIMALS EXTINCT WATER YOU CANT DRINK 

OR BUILDINGS TO COVER UP THE EARTH
