Highwayman

A highwayman was a robber who stole from travellers. This type of thief usually traveled and robbed by horse as compared to a footpad who travelled and robbed on foot; mounted highwaymen were widely considered to be socially superior to footpads. Such criminals operated in Great Britain from the Elizabethan era until the early 19th century. In many other countries, they persisted for a few decades longer, until the mid or late 19th century. The first attestation of the word highwayman is from 1617. Euphemisms such as "knights of the road" and "gentlemen of the road" were sometimes used by people interested in romanticizing (with a Robin Hood–esque slant) what was often an especially violent form of stealing.

Tell me why can't we all try
Try not to lie
We love we kill we hurt we steal
You cant just say it wasn't your fault
Now you finally got caught
Don't blame the beer her skirt
Gods will or his brown shirt
I'm only human

It's the reason were alive
The reason we'll survive
The reason that we live
The reason we forgive
Frail minds that cannot cope
Strong wills that live in hope
Desperation that's unbound
Reputations  unfound
Only human only human
Just skin and broken bone
My skin blisters on the phone
Only human only human
Education our own way
You can get it here today

So why can't you just say no like the junky Zamo
Because you're scared and weak too conforming an a sheep
Life's a journey take your time its too short to drink cheap wine
Up the hill to the grange danger mouse in Penfold's range
To dare is to do and we're daring when we play
But we're only human we can f*ck up any day

It's the reason were alive
The reason we'll survive
The reason that we live
The reason we forgive
Frail minds that cannot cope
Strong wills that live in hope
Desperation that's unbound
Reputations  unfound
Only human only human
Just skin and broken bone
My skin blisters on the phone
Only human only human
Education our own way
You can get it here today

A life that drives me crazy and Miss Daisy round the bend
The road that leads to nowhere Manor House or Ponders End
A utopian state where we can live life with our brothers
All of us as equal no more equal than the others
You've got to get this message text or emailed to your brain
The lights are on but no ones home it's driving me insane
We've got to be pragmatic we're really not the same
Is this the game of life or is our life now just a game
