I saw a man yesterday, on a corner of fourteenth
I said "Hey you know, you look like the prince of peace"
He said "No he's down the street, selling watches for the poor
In fact I don't think he works this part of town anymore"

I'm just trying to find the man who can tell me all I need to know
I'm just trying to find the man who can make it all seem clear
I'm just trying to find the man who can tell me what I want to here

I saw a lady later, in the corner of my eye
I said "You know you look like an angel in disguise
Maybe you know where the prince of peace is now"
She said "There ain't no angels out on this side of town"

Chorus

Cruising with the remote, driving up and down the dial
I found people that talk, people that sit, people who can smile
A man came on and shouted "Hey, I'm the prince of peace
Did I say I was him? I meant he's a lot like me"

Chorus
