They say everything can be replaced  
They say every distance is not near              
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

They say ev'ry man needs protection  
They say that ev'ry man must fall  
Yet I swear I see my reflection  
Somewhere so high above this wall

Now yonder standing there in this lonely crowd  
A man who swears he's not to blame  
All day long I hear him shouting so loud  
Just crying out that he was framed
