Lyrics

Walks the streets like a ghost
staggering with one eye open like many nights before
No expression on his face sober enough and he'll be in your face
asking for money for another beer
But you walk on by cause you have no fear
aNow he may call you brother and he may call you friend
He may ask pollitely but in the end
You'll turn your back on him
Yeah you'll turn your back on him
You'll turn your back on him
Yeah you'll turn your back on him

Well you may say that he never did anything for us
Well you may be right but what is exactly just
Is the land that we live on is it really ours
while the drunken indian is passed out in bars
I don't think so
No I don't think so
I don't think so
No I don't think so

His people are hurting inside
the outside sometimes looks just as bad
We lay all our feelings aside
as they lay another to rest
Court houses and trailor parks
blue lights in the dark
Police man coming down on him
Just another empty soul
to nothing he holds
cause the bottle is his only friend
and it was taking away
it was taken away
and it was taken away
it was taken away

Walks the streets like a ghost
staggering with one eye open like many nights before
