Man of the Moment

The man of the moment is just way ahead of his time
Could be why you see just distance in his eyes
He could be watching ashes grow
Where all your best seeds were just now sown
But for all i know there’s far more i don’t…
New rays of light must fight for a place between the leaves
So son don’t seem surprised to find no shade beneath this tree
Just like abe' you can’t think twice
When offered your piece of the franchise
Now every kid expects a birth-right…
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother
Now it’s your turn, it’s your turn to deliver…
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother
What’s the measure of a man, made to measure…
It’s some privilege to claim that only the strong survive —
If you can choose the time and place and what you’ll sacrifice
We’ll all get our piece of the dream
And the have-nots will have to take another hit for the team
Well that’s just how it’s always been…
It went something like — garden. Tree. Adam and eve. And father, pray, forgive
But if i never hear that shit again i’ll live and live and live and live
And whatever made the world go round before
Is probably what will keep it going round after they’re gone
But for all i know there’s far more i don’t…
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother
Now it’s your turn, it’s your turn to deliver…
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother
What’s the measure of a man, made to measure
Made to measure
