When The Fingers Point

You're the man with no choice

Yes, it's been decided you've done wrong

And there's no single voice that will stand up and say

Oh, just what has he done?

For they all read the news

And it's surely proof enough for them

Yet they flatly refuse to consider, oh

Was he really to blame?

'Cause when the fingers point

It's too much to take

And when the fingers point

It makes your heart break

Now you're moving away

For you cannot take it anymore

No amount of explaining can alter the truth

It's all happened before

But, where can you go?

Where the evil eyes won't follow on

And the curtains won't move every time you walk by

Boy, just where can you run?

'Cause when the fingers point, whoa oh

It's too much to take

And when the fingers point, oh no

It makes your heart break

So you find a new home and a new place to hide

Where's there's peace and shelter from the poison outside

But before too long, it'll be staring up the walls so

Don't kid yourself son, it's just a matter of time

When the fingers point, whoa oh

It's too much to take, yeah

And when the fingers point, oh no

It makes your heart break

And when the fingers point

It's too much to take

Yeah, when the fingers point, oh no

It makes your heart break
