Been Down So Long
   
   The sun sets across the ocean
   I'm a thousasnd mile from anywhere
   And my pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
   And the sun act like she don't even care
   The wind blows cold when you reach the top
   Feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
   Got a plastic Jesus and a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
   Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do
  
Chrous:
   Well I've been down so long
   It can't be that much longer still
   And I've been down for so long
   That the end must be drawing near
   
  
   I looked to everybody but me
   To answer my prayers
   Until I found an angel in the bathroom
   Who said she didn't see anybody who was savin anywhere
   And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin -
   Don't matter what side it lands on
   So long as it's somebody else's dime"
   Cause if you're the top of the bottom
   It all feels the same
   We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
   Fuess all I can do is museter up some change
   And little bit of faith
   And take some dignity when I walk through this door
   
   Chorus
   
   Gonna take a trip
   Catch a train
   Got a ticket in my hand
   And then a fat man takes my money
   And like cattle we all stand
   I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
   In a thousand people I do not know
   But really they are no different from me
   They all have passion
   They all have fear
   They all have intense confusion
   And no sweet moments that are clear
   They all have aspirations
   High hopes and dreams
   And are really that alone like me
   ***
   We've been down so long
   It can't be that much longer still
   We've been down so long
   That the end must be...
   The end must be...
   The end must be drawing near
