One Of Many Songtext
von Joe Pug

As the only child for a hundred miles
Living in the land of plenty
You could raise your cup anytime you want
Never find it empty
But your plate was flush and you had so much
While others had not any
As you lay in bed while they shaved your head
Now you′re one of many
Oh, now you're one of many
It was hard to breathe when you knew no need
The crown it laid so heavy
At night you slept underneath your bed
With both your pistols ready
But they stole your robes and now your clothes
Won′t sell for a penny
You're free to rest your naked chest Now you're one of many
Oh, now you′re one of many
When the sirens cried in the afternoon
Did your mouth go dry, did your blood run blue?
Was it louder than a drum in an empty room?
Did it strike so hard ′cause it rang so true?
As a traveler in the wider world
The road was never friendly
So you turned around, you were homeward bound
At the tender age of twenty
When you arrived you cried to find
Your mother had no memory
Once you were her only child
Now you're one of many
Oh, now you′re one of many
