Flash's Confession

I've just had a dream that I never will forget, that I wish I could erase
I was standin' on the street with a whole crowd of people
No one knew my name, and I was just another face
No one looked at me or touched me, spoke to or acknowledged me
I had no identity or individuality
No thoughts of my own, no mind or personality
I was just a no one, a total nonentity

I'm just a number waiting to be called
It is time for confessin' it all
I'm just another face
Yes, it's time for confessin' it all

Been a cheat, been a crook
Never gave, I always took
Crushed people to acquire
Anything that I desired
Been deceitful and a liar
Now I'm facin' Hell fire

I can't believe that my time has come
For confessin' all the evil and the wrong that I've done
The reckoning's come and now I'm just a no one
I confess to the timid and the meek
To the cripples and the beggars and the tramps in the street
I confess my cruelty, my ego and conceit

I've opened up my body and looked inside
And I'm everything that I once despised
I confess for the thieves, the affected and deranged
I confess for the muggers and incurably insane
I confess to the ugly for being so vain
I confess to those I hurt for causing them pain

I'm just a number waiting to be called
It is time for confessing it all
I'm just another face
And it's time for confessin' it all
Yes, it's time for confessin' it all
Yes, it's time for confessin' it all
