Versuri - m - Magellan - A Social Marginal

			
			
Remember me when I met you back in Chicago? 

Filthy bum (twenty plus some) with an old
platitude 

Mending fences or mending souls 

That was all you had to say 

But fate was fair my friend 

Now it's your turn to walk in my place 

Tell me how's the view from down there- 

come on don't you like it? 

Suddenly you are no one and you feel like a freak 

Down and out you just might find out who you 

really are 

Sorry I can't join you right now 

I'd love to stay but can't be late for my happy
hour 

Now don't get caught up in your paranoia 

just accept that we both - 

lose if there's a confrontation 

Well I think we've got to find 

some good excuse with a prospect of detente 

But standing my ground 

I have drawn the line 

past which there can be no more compromise 

Somebody help me find a way out of it 

I'm quite sure there must be 

more than meets the eye 

A matter of what's inside 

Pretending my soul can hide from the outside 

When everyone can see we're hiding tragedy 

Social Marginal- 

Setting the stage for our power struggle 

Social Marginal- 

Engaging you in a test of wills 

Social Marginal- 

No diversions please 

It's time to wear your gameface 

It's time to wear it now.....just put it on. 

Now don't get caught up in your paranoia 

just accept that we both 

lose if there's a confrontation 

And it's all we've got to find 

a crucible can't we compromise? 

Now. 

Somebody help me find a way out of it 

I'm quite sure there must be 

more than meets the eye 

A matter of what's inside 

Pretending my soul can hide from the outside 

When everyone can see we're hiding tragedy 

Now. 

Social Marginal- 

setting the stage for our power struggle 

Social Marginal- 

Engaging you in a test of wills 

Social Marginal- 

No diversions please 

It's time to wear your gameface 

It's time to wear it now - right now. 

Mending fences, mending souls? 

Read between the lines and you'll know 

Now. 

Now it's your turn to accept me- 

Now. 

....But caught up in your own self-righteousness 

All you can do is say - you first.
