It is becoming increasingly hard to understand, and to get behind, todays concerns and so-called movements.
Lyrics
"That Empathetic Man"
Words & Music by Tom Tognaci
Could I walk a hundred miles, on the soles of broken shoes?
Could I lose everything I ever had to lose?
Could I sleep aside a road?
Could I dream shivering cold?
Could I be that homeless face, wrung out and old?
I once was known as a man who gave a damn
The kind of guy who would strive to understand
But as this Country now bemoans
White guilt and comfort zones
Its getting hard to be that empathetic man
Instrumental
Yea, I once was known as a man who gave a damn
The kind of guy who would strive to understand
But using kids to lite the fuse
On the bombs thrown by fake news
Yea, its getting hard to be that empathetic man
Would I stand, could I face, those hateful hearts of stone?
Could I practice what I preach when I stand alone?
Could I kick the man thats down?
Or, would I help him off the ground?
Would I show mercy when the tables turn around?
Yea, I once was known as a man who gave a damn
The kind of guy who would strive to understand
But, berate this great Country,
With a finger and a knee
You arent going to find that empathetic man
