Everyman's Daughter - Over the Rhine

Look inside for the elusive goldmine

Broken glass and a little cheap wine

Is all that I can find

And bundles of contradictions

My heart full of loose connections

Hands across my eyes

I cannot disguise

I’m everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

It’s always the same old question

Who am I and whose invention?

This armour’s full of dust

There’s so much of us in each other

If I hate you you’re my best reminder

Of all I wish I was

I hate you just because

I’m everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Who do you think that I am?

It don’t matter long as we can understand

I am hurting someone

I am hurting someone just like, just like

I am hurting someone

I am hurting someone just like, just like you

Insulting the wounds of others

My sisters, my brothers

My vision’s way too good

I carry the inward aching

Like you, I too am naked

I don’t look that good

But this is flesh and blood

I’m everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Look at all the blood we’ve spilt

I can’t deal with all this fundamental guilt

I am hurting someone

I am hurting someone just like, just like

I am hurting someone

I am hurting someone just like, just like you

I am.

I am.

I am everyman’s daughter

I am.

I am.

I am everyman’s daughter

I am.

I am.

I am everyman’s daughter

I am.

I am.

I am everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter

Everyman’s daughter
