Lyrics

Standing by the highway
A suitcase by my side
And no place I want to go
I just thought I'd catch a ride
Many people look my way
And many pass me by
In moments of reflection, I wonder why
To the thieves, I am a bandit, whoa
The mothers think I'm a son
To the preachers, I'm a sinner
Lord, I'm not the only one
To the sad ones, I'm unhappy
To the losers, I'm a fool
To the students, I'm a teacher
With the teachers, I'm unschooled
To the hobos, I'm imprisoned
By everything I own
To the soldier, I'm just someone else
Who's dying to go home
The general sees a number
A politician's tool
To my friends, I'm just an equal
In this whirlpool
Magic mirror, won't you tell me please
Do I find myself in anyone I see?
Magic mirror, if we only could
Try to see ourselves as others would
To policemen, I'm suspicious
It's in the way I look
I'm just another character
To fingerprint and book
To the censor, I'm pornography
With no redeeming grace
To the hooker, I'm a customer without a face
And the sellers think I'm merchandise
They'll have me for a song
The left ones think I'm right
The right ones think I'm wrong
And many people look my way
And many pass me by
And in my quiet reflection, I wonder why
Magic mirror, won't you tell me please
Do I see myself in anyone I meet?
Magic mirror, if we only could
Try to see ourselves as others would
