Ein gottverdammtes Meisterwerk von einem Song, das die Unüberwindbarkeit der eigenen subjektiven Wahrnehmung thematisiert, der wir es ja augenscheinlich zu verdanken haben, daß es in dieser Welt keine Gerechtigkeit geben kann:
"If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each others minds
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes"
If we could find a way to get inside each others minds
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes"
