Straw Man Lyrics

Straw Man lyrics

falling, failing now

they mass here at mid day

such a quandary how

I was with them so long

again, I was wrong

you're kneeling there

with furtive eyes on me

and you say

turn your head, face the jury

turn again, face your peers

we have gathered to listen

to what we want to hear



bemused, confused so

much ado about nothing

abuse ensues, though

when I reply, you offer

you try, you falter

a spool of thread,

a needle won't help me



is your faith so precarious

that you attack me and not my questions?
