Lyrics Man At the Top - Nils Lofgren

Man At the Top

Here comes a fireman, here comes a cop
Here comes a wrench, here comes a car hop
It’s been going on forever, it ain’t never gonna stop
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Now, aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
One thing in common they all got
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Now, aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Singing alright, oh yeah
Singing alright, oh yeah
Man at the top says it’s lonely up there
Well, if it is, man, I don’t care
From the big White House to the parking lot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Here comes a banker, here comes a businessman
Here comes a kid with a guitar in his hand
Dreaming of his record in the number one spot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Now, aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
