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

He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation

Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong

F                     G

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

C      C/G

And so many people go day by day

Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining

I know a man who'd know what to do
