The Figurants - Railmen Lyrics

They were sent back, poor and broken
Their kind eyes deeper than the sea
Holes in their history
He was hard to get a hold of
His brown eyes cover his disease
He started losing his teeth
He couldn't sue himself, so he found a nice hotel
Pretended to be choking on a pin from his lapel
What started out as evening ended in a cell
When all the ghosts turned on at once
Some millionaires paint their mansions yellow
To find out what they can get for free
As stupid as they're cheap
They teach their children safety
Then send them out in the world to see
This human's misery
