Kansas City Milkman

Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know

Kansas city milkman

A row of houses

Through the dawn

A sleeping city

Where I was born

I hear laughter

In the early light

Outside the playground

Were I learned to fight

Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know

I read the papers

Every word

My only access

To the outside world

Yeah ... survival

That's my game

Just a common man

In that there is no shame ... is there? ...

Too much talking

Information ... in the hands of the few

All the talking

Dis-information ... that we take for the truth

Born in this place

You only see so far

Hear what we say

The world is a stage

And we know just who you are

What part do you play?

If we put the truth in your hands

Would you really like to know
