the outview - rich man's road lyrics
[verse 1]
quiet whispers in the dark
do you hear ‘em too?
proverbial red telephones
and leaky oval rooms
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
soldiers off to battle
sacrificing for
the voices in the ether
who don’t have to fight the war
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
[chorus]
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
do you know about anything
that doesn’t keep you sleeping in the night?
and who’s making all the dollar the signs?
and who’s making all the headlines?
and who’s got a way to navigate me
through the left and right?
‘cause everybody knows
it’s a poor man’s walk on a rich man’s road
[verse 2]
a first+world girl
a house of second class
walls in all directions
and a ceiling made of glass
cultured in a culture
i could never understand
n0body blames my clothing
for the actions of a man
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
[chorus]
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
do you know about anything
that doesn’t keep you sleeping in the night?
and who’s making all the dollar the signs?
and who’s making all the headlines?
and who’s got a way to navigate me
through the left and right?
‘cause everybody knows
it’s a poor man’s walk on a rich man’s road
[bridge]
and what about the man
who works hard to stay in line
‘cause one wrong place and time
could lose a life for petty crime
and our records look the same
but his skin don’t look a thing like mine
have you read about it?
tell me what do you know about it?
[chorus]
do you know about it?
do you know about it?
do you know about anything
that doesn’t look you straight+faced in the eye
and who’s making all the dollar signs?
and who’s making all the headlines?
and who’s got a way to navigate me
through the left and right?
‘cause everybody knows
this ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
[outro]
ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
