One Man's Burden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
come on real nice not a word
come on with arms open wide
it's ok when it's on tv when it's
like the pictures in a book
it's ok when it's on tv but it's
you and me
caught up in history
caught the look that i just can't see
something is after me
better run i really better run
round and round
over and over
do my duty by her
call return
i tried once and that was that
now she knows i can't go back
back to beginning
over and over
then she heard me say
been away and now i'm back
how's my credit said my credit's fine
what will it be
one man's burden playing on my mind
one man's burden got me just in time
one man's burden playing on my mind
one man's burden got me just in time
round and round
over and over
she says i did it just to please myself
they think i did it just to be myself
less talk what to talk about
less think what to think about
ok well it's not ok
straighten up you got to straighten up
tell it straight you got to tell it straight
come on
one man's burden playing on my mind
one man's burden got me just in time
one man's burden playing on my mind
one man's burden got me just in time
round and round
over and over
round and round
over and over
round and round
over and over
