Reader Meet Author |
You don’t know a thing about their lives |
They live where you wouldn’t dare to drive |
You shake as you think of how they sleep |
But you write as if you all lie side by side |
Reader, meet Author |
With the hope of hearing sense |
But you may be feeling let down |
By the words of defence |
He says «No-one ever sees me when I cry» |
You don’t know a thing about their lives |
Books don’t save them, books aren’t Stanley knives |
And if a fight broke out here tonight |
You’d be the first away, because you’re that type |
And the year 2000 won’t change anyone here |
As each fabled promise flies so fast |
You’ll swear it was never there |
Oh, have you ever escaped from a shipwrecked life? |
So safely with your software, miles from the front line |
You hear the way their sad voice sings, and you start to imagine things |
