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 |
