Me, I'm just a working man…
Living in a world I don't understand…
Everywhere I look, it remains the same…
Hands dropped in blood, but who's to blame?...
Oil, cash and industry…
Whatever has happened to humanity?...
Pockets full of money, they say with pride…
"Wallstreet doesn't flourish with human rights"…
'Civilized' people turn their face away…
Of poverty though they see it every day…
Yeah for me it's plain to see…
We got a one-way-ticket to insanity…

I walk beside you, promises won't last…
Waves wash away this desperate face…
I walk beside you, wearing my own task…
And it's just me who can release me of this mask…
This mask of me…

Sudan, Kashmir and Middle-East…
One big mess to say the least…
Space, religion or ignorance…
We all seem to spit on human tolerance…
Nigerian people getting rude oppressed…
A junta violates their interest…
Though we all know what's going on…
SHELL pumps on, like there's nothing wrong…

I walk beside you, promises won't last…
Waves wash away this desperate face…
I walk beside you, wearing my own task…
And it's just me who can release me of this mask…
This mask of me…

Well though I'm just a working man…
There's one thing I can understand…
Does it all lead to a culture clash?...
"Not my business" - they couldn't care less…
'Civilized' people turn their face away…
Of poverty though they see it every day…
Yeah for me it's plain to see…
We got a one-way-ticket to insanity…

I walk beside you, promises won't last…
Waves wash away this desperate face…
I walk beside you, wearing my own task…
And it's just me who can release me of this mask…
This mask of me…
