The annointed one - fathers favorite son Now we see, long before the race, you'd already won Oh beautified, with the softest eyes These days I can't escape your face, do you remember mind? Oh, it haunts me Ooh, what a fool I must have been We saw red, not green, when we were nineteen Now something's different Something happened, somewhere therebetween By the river's bend Did I misapprehend your intentions Or is it that you have changed, friend? Oh, it haunts me Ooh, how could I not have seen what you'd become? But you fooled everyone Lace curtains in our slum You were the annointed one Watching you grow with the pride of a friend Kissing off school - there were rules to be bent Knelt by your side through our crises of faith Mine was on time, but for you it was already too late In the capitol, with your freezer full Do you represent your district, or your daddy's will? Oh, it haunts me Ooh, how could I not have seen what you'd become? But you fooled everyone Lace curtains in our slum You were the annointed one
