| Caught you sleeping on the railroad track
|
| You were so tired that you took a nap
|
| Tied you up while you were on your back
|
| And they told you that your name was Jack
|
| Well, they thought you might have been the
|
| Missing link
|
| Make some big cash with those two big feet
|
| A carnival crew’s on the city street
|
| Pay admission just to see the freak-
|
| Named Jacko…
|
| A sign of the times
|
| Please forgive we’re just human kind
|
| People don’t see
|
| You’re a child and you don’t want to be
|
| A Jacko
|
| Big hotel on the news today
|
| By the old fishin' hole where you used to play
|
| It’s prime real estate I would have to say
|
| But your home will never look the same
|
| Well, profit shares and the bottom line
|
| Make it to Wall Street with a glass of wine
|
| Your chemical dump I don’t really mind
|
| Now I’m bald and I’m going blind
|
| Poor Jacko…
|
| Humanity it speaks of all that it wants to be
|
| And as you can see
|
| All we dish out is hypocrisy
|
| To Jacko
|
| Jacko…
|
| A sign of the times
|
| Please forgive we’re the human kind
|
| People can’t see
|
| You’re a child and you don’t want to be
|
| A Jacko…
|
| …Just call him Jacko
|
| …Call him Jacko
|
| I am not your missing link
|
| And I am not your prize
|
| For a hunting expedition under starry skies
|
| Keep me in the wilderness
|
| Where I can breath the air
|
| Maybe one day we will meet
|
| But hey — leave your gun there
|
| If you must come leave your gun there
|
| (Jack-hey-Jacko-a-hey-a-Jacko-call him-
|
| Jack-Jacko-call him-hey-call him-hey-
|
| Just call him Jacko)
|
| Back in the deep wood a line in the sand
|
| By an old oak tree — You will make your stand
|
| If they find you back there you have had it man
|
| They’re gonna kill ya anyway they can
|
| Poor Jacko…
|
| A sign of the times
|
| Please forgive we’re the human kind
|
| People can’t see
|
| You’re a child and you don’t want to be
|
| To be?
|
| Jacko…
|
| Humanity it speaks of all that it wants to be
|
| And as you can see
|
| All we dish out is hypocrisy to Jacko |
