paroles de chanson Dignity - Joe Cocker

Fat man lookin′ in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin' at his last meal
Hollow man lookin′ at a cottonfield
For dignity
Wise man lookin' at a blade of grass
Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin′ through painted glass
For dignity
Somebody got murdered on New Year′s Eve
Someone said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, I went into the town
Went to the land of the midnight sun
Searchin' high, searchin′ low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin′ the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
Blind man breakin' out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hopin′ to find one circumstance
Of dignity
I went to the wedding of Mary-Lou
She said, "I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you"
Said she could be killed, if she told me what she knew
About dignity
Footprints runnin′ cross the silver sand
Steps fallin′ down into tattoo land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the bordertowns of despair
So many roads, so much at stake
Too many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it′s gonna take
To find dignity
