Mr. Man

When the world first came about
And there weren't any lives
So you couldn't tell that you were North, South, East or West

People went were they pleased
Anywhere they were inclined
And they did what they felt would suit them best

But there came a Mr Man
With no purpose of his own
And he had sharp luck that no one would suspect
Saying brothers it's a sin
Working for yourselves alone
And he sat right down and started to collect

Hey what you're doing Mr Man
What you're doing Mr Man
You'll get nowhere
With those crazy schemes you're doin' (What you're doing Mr Man)

Hey what you're doing Mr Man
What you're doing Mr Man
All your cheating ways
Will lead to is your ruin (What you're doing Mr Man)

You're just trying to mask our eyes
While our souls you victimize
What you're doing Mr Man
What you're doin'

Well you know Mr Man's
Not too sure of himself
Cause he's always looking for a fight

Always raising his voice
Making other people sweat
Cause he's got to hurt to feed his own fright

Keep your eye on Mr Man
Cause it's very plain to see
What he's doin' is only spreadin' woe and sorrow
Take a look around you now
And I'm sure that you'll agree
He ain't leaving much for us to call tomorrow

Hey what you're doing Mr Man
What you're doing Mr Man
You'll get nowhere
With those crazy schemes you're doin' (What you're doing Mr Man)

Hey what you're doing Mr Man
What you're doing Mr Man
All your cheating ways
Will lead to is your ruin (What you're doing Mr Man)

You're just trying to mask our eyes
While our souls you victimize
