Local Man

There's a guy next to me - Look for a way in
A girl next to him - Wants to get going
A guy next to her - Shaking to start
A girl next to him – Wants to be a part
If you believe your life's your own and no one owns you
Time keep rolling on and no one's getting through
You're tired and frustrated from waiting for your turn

Local Man - Makes good
Local Man - Gets caught
Headlines blare - Someone's nightmare
Disconnected from my reality
Local Man - Gets married
Local Man - Passes on
They bury the lede - Where no one will read
Life keeps rolling for the local man and me

There are a people out there - Asking for a favor
And people out there - Looking for a savior
And people next to them - Flexing their might
And one out there - who's itching for a fight
If you believe we're all connected and no one goes alone
The news keeps coming in but not in our zone
No notices nothing, the storm clouds that have settled on

Local Man - Makes good
Local Man - Gets caught
Shuffle the names - But the story's the same
An endless stream of revenue
Local Man - Wins the lottery
Local Man - Loses their job
They bury the lede - Where no one will read
Nothing ever changes for the local man and you

There's a girl next to me - No plan for today
A guy next to her - Just wastes away
Both got their pills - Paid with a blue card
They have their ration - Tied to their front yard
They've been left on their own but cannot break through
The years keep rolling on where can they go to?
Others shake their heads and hope they just go away

Local Man - Makes good
Local Man - Gets caught
We build a Promised Land for those alive
Those who don't understand just enjoy the ride
Local Man - Wins the lottery
Local Man - Loses their job
We will build this Promised Land so while we grow
Just watch your Local Man and enjoy the show

Local Man - For the win
Local Man - For the loss
They bury the lede - Where no one will read
Nothing ever changes for the local man and us
