Stranger

Here I am with a bible in my hand

Trying really hard to understand

Something I don't think anybody can

Namely man's inhumanity to man

Here I am with a bottle in my hand

Trying to escape from my fellow man

Trying to remember what it means to be a man

Feeling like a stranger in a strange land

Nobody here can tell me

I fight a losing fight

Nobody can convince me

I don't know wrong from right

You call each other brothers

And when you turn your backs

You try to kill each other

Mad dogs in a pack

Stranger

All my life I've been a stranger

Stranger

And life keeps getting stranger

Stranger

Here I am with a weapon in my hand

Trying to defend myself from my fellow man

Hanging on to sanity by a slender strand

Violence was never any part of the plan

Common sense doesn't seem to apply

Good advice cannot help me to get by

Over time all the rules they have been changed

Overnight things have really gotten strange

Nobody here can tell me

I fight a losing fight

Nobody can convince me

I don't know wrong from right

You call each other brothers

And when you turn your backs

You try to kill each other

Mad dogs in a pack

Stranger...
