Lyrics
K was a man confident in his decisions.
A working-class man with the respect of those around him.
Eye on the ball, playing for the road ahead.
Was chained to a rock and beaten to death.
CHORUS
Caught in the riptide of the system in place
Given a number in place of his name.
Driven mad in pursuit of his case.
Each to his own all things in their place.
K was a man ignorant of the world around him.
With rules so thick that no book could bind them.
Played the game ?til he realized it could not be won.
Disengaged and lost faith in everyone.
