Pieces of a Man - GilScott-Heron [00:00:07]

Jagged jigsaw pieces[00:00:17]

Tossed about the room[00:00:24]

I saw my Grandma sweeping[00:00:31]

With her old straw broom[00:00:38]

But she didn't know what she was doing[00:00:44]

She could hardly understand[00:00:51]

That she was really sweeping up[00:01:03]

Pieces of a man[00:01:10]

I saw my Daddy meet the mailman[00:01:16]

And I heard the mailman say[00:01:24]

"Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy [00:01:30]

'Cause they've laid off nine others today"[00:01:38]

But he didn't know what he was saying[00:01:45]

He could hardly understand[00:01:52]

That he was only talking to[00:02:03]

Pieces of a man[00:02:11]

I saw the thunder and heard the lightning[00:02:17]

And felt the burden of his shame[00:02:23]

And for some unknown reason[00:02:31]

He never turned my way[00:02:38]

Pieces of that letter[00:02:46]

Were tossed about that room[00:02:53]

And now I hear the sound of sirens[00:02:59]

Come knifing through the gloom[00:03:06]

But they don't know what they are doing[00:03:13]

They could hardly understand[00:03:20]

That they're only arresting[00:03:31]

Pieces of a man[00:03:39]

I saw him go to pieces[00:03:46]

I saw him go to pieces[00:03:52]

He was always such a good man[00:04:00]

He was always such a strong strong man[00:04:07]

Yeah I saw him go to pieces[00:04:13]

I saw him go to pieces[00:04:20]
