The black and white man - with his dotting in pencil
fills in the lines - where the frowns don't show
the little girls weeps - and her tear drop darkens
a thin white stripe - on a cross hatched face
hanging on hard to what she knows
the rocking horse man swings her to and fro
CHORUS
break down the barriers - and free your mind
make the social model work - make sure you don't eat dirt
The sly cat sits behind his desk - with a blank expression
he asks why is this crippled man here - he's just exposed his fears
the man shrinks back - he's living his nightmare
he's faced by a bigot - and there's no where to go
hanging on hard to what he knows
the rocking horse man swings him to and fro
CHORUS
the flower of a daffodil - the shade in my room
some doesn't matter custard - and an LP sleeve
these things are real - a material yellow
but I need to be abstract - I need to be profound
we lock our doors - we run from hate
we don't like alleys - paranoiac fear of blue lights
I don't like it with the light on - opinions scar my life
but only time will tell - a have a lot to sell
hanging on hard to what I know
the rocking horse man swings me to and fro
