The Invisible Man

I did my civic duty? I cast my vote But I don't know why? Does it even matter anymore? Why won't anyone smile? or go that extra freaking mile? Why won't they look at me-when we pass on the street I feel like the invisible man Why doesn't my wife notice me? She just stares at her phone all night I get looked over- for everything at work It's like I can't do anything right [Refrain] I am tired, So damn tired Of NOT being seen. Why do people look right through me? [Chorus 1] When I walk these days I don't even have a shadow Even the sunlight will not recognize me. I been working so hard And doing all I can do But I guess it doesn't matter Because I Am the Invisible man I talk to my kids But they don't really hear me Why, do they hate me? Because they do I think they hate me I sit with my friend The one friend I have I prattle on and on and on But he is not listening Not really Why can't you get it together? He asks me . . . . [Hold 4 beats] Deadpan [bridge] What do I have to do- to get some attention? What do I have to do- to be seen? I wish I could summon a lightning strike That should wake them up alright? But that's not me . . . [4 beat pause] or is it? [Chorus 2] [Power building] When I walk these days I don't even have a shadow Even the sunlight won't recognize me. I been working so hard And doing all I can do But I guess it doesn't matter Because I Am the Invisible man [16 beat instrumental] [Bridge 2] [Intensity increases] [Angry tone] So, I found my lightning after all I carry it in this backpack I walk through this crowd of people- unseen. I walk past security- they didn't even stop me I set the backpack down And I walk away clean. [Outro] [VERY ANGRY NOW!] Will they see me now? God help me . . . . Do you see me now?
