Jeffrey Gaines I Know A Man Lyrics

It's been years, he's been here

And time just lingers and no one knows

He's got eyes, he's got ears

He's got all his fingers and all his toes

His is a life of observation

Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information

For twenty years he hasn't spoken a word

He's been silent since the accident occurred

While so many people taken tongues for granted

Taking the truth finding ways to slant it

I know a man who'd know what to do

So many people go day in day out

Just dreaming up things they can bitch about

I know a man who'd know what to do

It's a dream, but for him it's real

And it never goes away

And it never will

He's in touch with what he feels

Ah but he just can't say Maybe it's better still

His is a life of endless frustration

He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation

Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong

He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles' song

While so many people taken spines for granted

Slither and squirm, taken what they're handed

I know a man who'd know what to do

So many people go day by day

Sitting on their hands constantly complaining

I know a man who'd know what to do

So many content to exist like sheep

Never scratching the surface

Of themselves too deep

I know a man who'd know what to do

So many people like you and me

Never realizing what our lives could be

I know a man who'd know what to do
