Delicate Man

I am a delicate man, I've always done what I can To be the best I could be to sustain my family How did it all slip away? How did I lose all my say? Is this an ending It was my plan to grow old and what I earned I would hold I built this house and a life with my two hands and my wife Could I be left here to stand and bury my head in the sand I'm not so foolish Who gets to choose Who has to lose We've paid our dues I am a sensitive man, I can't be more than I am There was some joy at the start, but now that's a dwindling art We say they're out to exploit, they say we're missing the point We are the working I am a gold-hearted man though nobody here gives a damn Just want a few simple things that only money can bring It's become a hostile race, they pushed me out of my place Can't you see what's coming Where will we go When we're made low I just don't know So did you take it from me? Am I not the one that you see? No, I am the shadow And can you go on this way Ignore the doubt and the pain? How, I don't know So now I stand in my shame Looking for someone to blame Who, I don't know Do you need me up on a stage To see me naked, enraged Why I don't know I am a delicate man I am a delicate man I am a delicate man I am a delicate man
