Man |
| Hey man where you been |
| You can’t run away |
| From the life you made your own |
| Now that it’s gone and left you down and out |
| You’re not so complete |
| Now what do you say |
| All the answers you propose |
| Nobody chose to hear this time around |
| Hey man you’re so vain |
| You rise up again |
| To perform to pressure now |
| No way to treat that precious heart at all |
| Calm down you’re too proud |
| Now what do you know |
| You present some facts to face |
| But nobody chose to look this time around |
| Head in the clouds |
| No silver lining |
| What could be wrong |
| Hey man why so blue |
| What’s come over you |
| Sentimental apathy |
| Ain’t gonna buy no sympathy today |
| Wide world wearing thin |
| Wild words deafening |
| Shout about integrity |
| And then you go and throw your dignity away |
| We’re all the same |
| We’re all to blame |
| What could be wrong, yeah |
| Hey man you got carried away |
| Carrying on the games that you play |
| Playing is not the way to win |
| 'cos winning can be a way that you lose |
| And losing is not the way you would choose |
| Given the choice you’re trying to change |
| Changing again you’re carried away |
| Do you remember the day |
| So long ago so far behind |
| That history wrought in the fire |
| That filled your mind with mad desire |
| Chasing the centuries down |
| Long roads you cut through flesh and field |
| Pulling the past as you run |
| And it’s dragged you to your knees |
| It’s time to pray |
| It’s getting harder to pay |
| Too many people |
| For the rent |
| Given a number of ways |
| Is there no way you can change |
| Hey man sing the blues |
