מילים לשיר I Been Down So Long – Sting

The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand mile from anywhere
Both just got stolen
And my pocketbook in my heart
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
Got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do Well I've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near
I looked to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere
Until I found an angel in the bathroom
Don't matter what side it lands on
And the blind man said, "Simple. like flipping a coin So long as it's somebody else's dime"
Cause if you're the top of the bottom
We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
It all feels the same
Guess all I can do is muster up some change
And a little bit of faith
And take some dignity when I walk through this door Gonna take a trip
Catch a train
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
Got a ticket in my hand
In a thousand people I do not know
They all have passion
I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
They all have fear
But really they are no different from me
They all have intense confusion
They all have aspirations
And no sweet moments that are clear High hopes and dreams
And are really that alone like me
It can't be that much longer still
We've been down so long
We've been down so long
That the end must be.
The end must be drawing nearThe end must be.
