One Man's Poison Songtext
von Rupert Hine

One man′s nightmare is another man's dream
One silent person in another man′s scheme
One man's will can leave the rest with no control
The boy was always far too youn
The man was much too old
One man forgotten gives another one fame
One woman's beauty means another lives in shame
One begs for food while the other counts her diamonds
One is never satisfied
The other blesses you in silence
One man′s hatred is another man′s faith
One man's poison is another man′s cake
One thinks he knows it
But he's never ever tried it
He won′t take a bite in public but he'll eat it all in private
One careless error is another man′s fate
One man's fall is another one's break
One man′s treason is another′s escape
One piece of perfect timing
Means another's just too late


One man gets richer from another fool′s addiction
One thinks it's fact while the other knows it′s fiction
One blaze of final glory lets another die unknown
The one who plants the seed
Will never see the tree full grown
One man's hatred is another man′s faith
One man's poison is another man's cake
One thinks he knows it
But he′s never ever tried it
He won′t take a bite in public but he'll eat it all in private
One man′s wisdom means another can see
One proved guilty lets another go fee
One man's Heaven is another man′s Hell
To one a mind quite empty
Is more use than one too full
One child of five is already full of lies
One can't create but he′s keen to criticise
One man's enemy is someone else's friend
One act of madness brings a journey′s sudden end
One man′s pleasure is another man's pain
One takes a picture he will never see again
One talks of love but he′s grown used to watching violence
One who's lost is much too proud to ask for guidance
One man′s hatred is another man's faith
One man′s poison is another man's cake
One thinks he knows it
But he's never ever tried it
He won′t take a bite in public but he′ll eat it all in private
