It's been years, he's been here
and time just lingers and no one knows
He's got eyes, he's got ears
He's got all of his fingers, and all of his toes
His is a life of observation
Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information
For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word
He's been silent since the accident occured
While so many people taken tongues for granted
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it
I know a man who'd know what to do
And so many people go day in and day out
just dreaming of things they can bitch about
I know a man who'd know what to do
It's a dream, for him it's real
but it never goes away and never will
He's in touch with what he feels
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"
His is a life of endless frustration
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles song
While so many people taking spines for granted
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed
I know a man who'd know what to do
And so many people go day by day
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining
I know a man who'd know what to do
(instrumental)
And so many content to exist like sheep
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep
I know a man who'd know what to do
And so many people like you and me
Never realizing what our lives could be
I know a man who'd know what to do
