In the face of a Jew
In the eyes of a peasant
Refugee child
In an age of oppression

Creeping ‘cross the stateline
Living on the breadline
Somehow growing up
Like a flower in the desert

Under martial law
Jackboot justice
One of the poor
One of the hungry
Numbered with the rejects
Mocked by the elite
Political dissident
Man of grief

Anywhere you walk
He’s been there before
Anything you feel
He felt more
Anywhere you walk

Tried without a lawyer
Accused by liars
Abandoned by justice
Convicted by a riot

Offered as a scapegoat
Sentenced without evidence
Betrayed by a close friend
Silenced for convenience

Anywhere you walk
He’s been there before
Anything you feel
He felt more
Anywhere you walk
