Caught you sleeping on the railroad track

You were so tired that you took a nap

Tied you up while you were on your back

And they told you that your name was jack



Wellthey thought you might have been the

Missing link

Make some big cash with those two big feet

A carnival crew's on the city street

Pay admission just to see the freak-



Named jacko...

A sign of the times

Please forgive we're just human kind

People don't see

You're a child and you don't want to be

A jacko.



Big hotel on the news today

By the old fishin' hole where you used to play

It's prime real estate I would have to say

But your home will never look the same



Wellprofit shares and the bottom line

Make it to wall street with a glass of wine

Your chemical dump I don't really mind

Now I'm bald and I'm going blind



Poor jacko...

Humanity it speaks of all that it wants to be

And as you can see

All we dish out is hypocrisy

To jacko.

Jacko...

A sign of the times

Please forgive we're the human kind

People can't see

You're a child and you don't want to be

A jacko.........

...just call him jacko

...call him jacko.



I am not your missing link

And I am not your prize

For a hunting expedition under starry skies

Keep me in the wilderness

Where I can breath the air

Maybe one day we will meet

But hey - leave your gun there

If you must come leave your gun there



[jack-hey-jacko-a-hey-a-jacko-call him-

Jack-jacko-call him-hey-call him-hey-

Just call him jacko].



Back in the deep wood a line in the sand

By an old oak tree - you will make your stand

If they find you back there you have had it man

They're gonna kill ya anyway they can



Poor jacko...

A sign of the times

Please forgive we're the human kind

People can't see

You're a child and you don't want to be

To be? 

Jacko....

Humanity it speaks of all that it wants to be

And as you can see

All we dish out is hypocrisy to jacko.
