A Face in the Crowd Lyrics

Did you read the writing on the wall
Sad to know young man wrote it all
There will stay dreams
Will stare at you
Run from the truth
Did you see the people in the square
And the crowds, and the fighting everywhere
All in the name of peace
For a fool's idea
Nothing is real

Did you hear that mother on TV
Bleeding for her son, set my young boy free
But no! It was all in vain
He was killed next day
And you turn away
Run from the truth
Nothing is real
You turn away
From the anger you feel

You don't give a d***, don't cry aloud
Run from the truth
And hide your face in the crowd

(instr. break)

What's the use of trying every day
Never ever win, hope's too far away
Life is an endless road
Where I beg a steel
The anger you feel
So run from the truth
Nothing is real
You turn away
From the anger you feel
You don't give a d***, don't cry aloud
Run from the truth
And hide your face in the crowd
Run from the truth
And hide your face in the crowd
