So many dead roads, so much at stake
I’m at the edge of the river, by the rolling lake
Sometimes I wonder what it’s gonna take
To find dignity
So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I’m at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it’s gonna take
To find dignity
Fat man looking at a blade of steel
Thin man looking at a heartbreaker
Hollow man looking for his last meal
For dignity
Drinkin’ man looking for the man he is
In a room full of covered-up mirrors
Into the lost forgotten years
Of dignity
Fat man lookin’ in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin’ at his last meal
Hollow man lookin’ in a cottonfield
For dignity
Drinkin’ man listenin’ to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered-up mirrors
Lookin’ into the lost forgotten years
For dignity
Someone got murdered on Christmas Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun
Somebody got murdered on New Year’s Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun
Soul of a nation is under the knife
Death is standing in the doorway of life
In the next room, a man’s fighting with his wife
Over dignity
