Other Man's Words
Words & Music by Jeff Lehman

In a distant land a child is born
As empty as an evening sky

With unjudging eyes and unwounding heart
and no soul to hypnotize

But as time marches on he'll be taught to see
the face of the enemy

from the other man's words
the other man's words

On a distant land in a classroom scene
A bright young man learns his ABCs

But through his peers he finds
Accepting minds will only grant conformity

And now the outcast lies
On the streets of empty life

The boundary line's been drawn
from the other man's words

It's a repeating theme, a generalizing scheme
Words that travel through open ears
But crash into closed minds

The other man's words
The other man's words

When will it stop
When will it stop
