The Man

歌詞

The man is after all I own He works my hands to the bone And takes with Greek's persuasion Won't let me live without a loan There ain't no situation where a man's occupation Should feel like he works for free But in our generation, rich and famous Steals the bottom line, steals the bottom line Well I can't stand the man, I can't stand the man I can't stand the way he walks and talks all over me Can't stand the greed, I make a dollar and he takes three I can't stand the way he makes a living off of me Can't stand the man Black and white in Mississippi go alright well together, some of them don't (Can't stand the man) We have poor people in Mississippi, a whole lots of black people that all got good jobs in Mississippi I barely eat, care to sleep Don't ask the man to do nothing for me All I want, all I need Is my own American Dream There ain't no situation where a man's occupation Should feel like he works for free But in our generation, rich and famous Steals the bottom line, steals the bottom line Well I can't stand the man, I can't stand the man I can't stand the way he walks and talks all over me, ooh Can't stand the greed, I make a dollar and he takes three I can't stand the way he makes a living off of me, ooh Can't stand the man
