Just the Same/Proclamation Lyrics by Gentle Giant

Playing the Fool

1977

[Just the Same]
See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand, that I'm not, what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
Don't you see that
I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
Make me, someone else, put me up, on a stand
Something, that I don't, really want, on my hands
Use me, idolise, all you can, understand
Don't you see that
I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand, that I'm not, what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
Don't you see that
I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
[Proclamation/Valedictory]
(There seems to be a cut here between recordings at about 15 seconds into Proclamation)
1. You may not have all you want or you need
All that you have has been due to my hand
It can change, it can stay the same
Who can say, who can make their claim
Hail... Hail... Hail... Hail!
Hail!
[Original verse 2 skipped]
3. Unity's strength and all must be as one
Confidence in you hope will reflect in me
I think everyone not as my nation for
You are my people, and there must be no change
It can change, it can stay the same
Who can say, who can make that claim
Hail... Hail... Hail... Hail!
Hail!
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to
And though the hard times
Are really due to me
It still is in me
To wave all this unrest
Things must stay
There must be no change
Anyway, time to rearrange
Hail!
