Lyrics
Find another songI'm the guy at the back with an oar
You won't find me up front at the helm
I'm not one of the great unwashed
But you could say I'm one of the great overwhelmed
I'm the face in the crowd
And I do what's allowed
And I'll stand up straight and proud
But only if you do
I'm the face in the crowd
In the sky, I'm a cloud
And I'll sing our song out loud
But only if you do
I'm the guy at the desk by the door
You won't see me upstairs with the boss
I'm not one of the left behind
But you could say I'm one of the left out and lost
I'm the face in the crowd
And I do what's allowed
And I'll stand up straight and proud
But only if you do
I'm the face in the crowd
In the sky, I'm a cloud
And I'll sing our song out loud
But only if you do
I'm gonna do somethin' (you're gonna do nothin')
I'm gonna get somewhere (you're gonna get nowhere)
I'm gonna be someone (you're gonna be no one)
I'm gonna be free (let's wait and see)
I'm the face in the crowd
And I do what's allowed
And I'll stand up straight and proud
But only if you do
I'm the face in the crowd
In the sky, I'm a cloud
And I'll sing our song out loud
But only if you do
I'm gonna do somethin' (you're gonna do nothin')
I'm gonna get somewhere (you're gonna get nowhere)
I'm gonna be someone (you're gonna be no one)
I'm gonna be free (let's wait and see)
I'm gonna do somethin' (you're gonna do nothin')
I'm gonna get somewhere (you're gonna get nowhere)
I'm gonna be someone (you're gonna be no one)
I'm gonna be free (let's wait and see)
