papa hoodlum - all lyrics

(we are)
a dusty looking man in a dusty looking shirt
fights a fever, looking down in the mouth
at day 35, with eleven still alive
through a valley coming up from the south
he replays his dialogue, now sicker than a dog
and more bleary than he’s been in his life
and with the desert getting hotter
he takes another sip of water
with his daughter and his dusty looking wife (hey)

we are all him, patrilineal kin
tired and tattered (do you think that’s funny?)
the shaky situation he’s in
we are all him

on the cornеr of down and out
on the underside of town
walks a sеlf+proclaimed queen of the dead (hey)
two components, skin and bones
pushing everything she owns
and shoots the breeze with the dude in her head (hey)
her poverty’s courageous
but we fear that it’s contagious
so we give her what we call a wider berth (hey)
where she went, i couldn’t say
but i bet she’s on her way
to raise her glass and to inherit the earth
we are all her, another shopcart chauffeur
does she matter? (do you think she’s crazy?)
all this time, who did we think we were?
we are all her (we are)

empathize (empathize)
the ability to place yourself
in a given situation
sympathize (sympathize)
the capacity for entering into
compassion for someone else
(it’s the dictionary definition)
would you walk in my shoes?
(do you? do you?)
do you know who you are?
(do you? do you?)
do you know who we are?
(do you?)
we are all you
(hey)

little man, native born, in a statesman uniform
had a vision that he wanted them to see
he didn’t have to shout it loud
so he whispered to the crowd
take up your privilege and follow me
there’s no weapon in his hand
but don’t forget his one command
will drag a million needy people to their knees
he gets in bed and shuts the shutters
i think somebody heard him mutter
god bless us everyone, but mostly me
we are all him, a napoleon tiny tim
spinning platters (do you think he’s naughty?)
beware the box that you put him in
‘cause we are all (hey)
we are all you, regardless of what we do
all connected by a sweeter story
we hardly ever think this thing through
but we are all (we are all)
we are all (we are all)
we are all (we are all)
we are all (we are all)
we are all
