Ballad in Plain D
Travelled rich to the city
He had a need to discover
A use for his newly-found wealth
Because he was human
Because he had goodness
Because he was moral
They called him insane
Delusions of grandeur
Visions of splendor
A manic depressive
He walks in the rain
Eyes wide open
Heart undefended
Innocence untarnished...
Cinderella Man
Doing what you can
They can't understand
What it means
Cinderella Man
Hang on to your plans
Try as they might
They cannot steal your dreams
In the betrayal of
Uncontrollable Urge
take a step outside yourself
then you turn around
take a look at who you are
it's pretty scary
you're so silly
well it's revolting
you're not much
if you're anything
take a step outside the city
and you turn around
take a look at what you are
well it's revolting
you're really nowhere
you're so wasteful
so foolish
all big talk
who said don't look back
don't believe 'em
you go for that corner seat in the restaurant
'cause they're gonna try and get behind ya
don't you let 'em do it
you know what i'm talkin' about?
you hear me talking?
it's pretty scary
it's so revolting
take a step outside the country
then you turn around
take a look at where you are
well it's amazing
take a good look
you're no big deal
you're so petty
it's a laugh
take a step outside the planet
you turn around and round
now take a look at where you are
it's pretty scary
