Kansas City Milkman

                                  Born in this place 

You only see so far 

Hear what we say 



If we put the truth in your hands 

Would you really like to know 

Kansas city milkman 



A row of houses 

Through the dawn 

A sleeping city 

Where I was born 

I hear laughter 

In the early light 

Outside the playground 

Were I learned to fight 



Born in this place 

You only see so far 

Hear what we say 



If we put the truth in your hands 

Would you really like to know

I read the papers 

Every word 

My only access 

To the outside world 

Yeah ... survival 

That's my game 

Just a common man 

In that there is no shame ... is there? ... 



Too much talking 

Information ... in the hands of the few 

All the talking 

Dis-information ... that we take for the truth 



Born in this place 

You only see so far 

Hear what we say 



The world is a stage 

And we know just who you are 

What part do you play? 



If we put the truth in your hands 

Would you really like to know
