Shrinking Man |
| Well, it’s a change in the ocean, change in the sea |
| Woke up one morning was a change in me |
| I put on my pants, my pants fell down |
| Well, I put on my shoes and they fell off too |
| I looked in the mirror, was nothing to see |
| That’s how it goes when you’re a shrinking man like me |
| Worried man with a worried song |
| Shrinking man ain’t gonna be here long |
| Well, sometimes I worry 'bout clothes |
| 'Cause a shrinking man’s got to look good sometime |
| Don’t need no sweatshop child |
| Puttin' shoes on my feet this time |
| Chained to a sewing machine |
| Down in hell where the sun don’t shine |
| Look as good as you can |
| But please don’t rob your fellow man |
| Shrinking man, shrinking man |
| Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man |
| Sometimes I worry 'bout food |
| 'Cause a shrinking man’s got to eat right sometime |
| I don’t need much and I don’t pay |
| No starvation wage |
| To poor folks out on the poison ground |
| You don’t rob the land |
| When you’re just a little old shrinking man |
| Shrinking man, shrinking man |
| Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man |
| Worried man with a worried song |
| Shrinking man ain’t gonna be here long |
| Sometimes I worry bout prayer |
| 'Cause a shrinking man better be a prayin' man |
| Once I had a dream that was working |
| I had good ideas, I made big plans |
| Now I’m just like a leaf in the wind that’s blowing |
| I hope King Jesus can understand |
| Shrinking man, shrinking man |
| Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man |
| Worried man with a worried song |
| Shrinking man ain’t gonna be here long |
