I am the painted man   With a frown on my face   And a language you don't understand   A wild refugee   That is all you people can see   I am the painted man   With a smile on my lips   And a living tattoo on my hand   That's no guarantee   Of the truth you people can see       Why - With poison so strong in our hearts   And the world torn apart   Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain   Can't you see that we're painted the same?      I am the painted man   With bile in my veins   From a dark and sinister plan   Blind and deceived   That is all you people believe   I am the painted man   No thought for the world   I was here when the nightmare began   Wrongly conceived   That is all you people believe      Why - With poison so strong in our hearts   And the world torn apart   Why - when our actions bring nothing but pain   Can't you see that we're painted the same?      Come down from your ivory towers   Corruption devours us all   Come down from your ivory towers   The hunger devours us all
