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 |
