Pay the Man

See the way the wind blows Lives are intertwined Watch the way the world goes Man deals out our plight Jester in the corner Laughs without a sound Jester in the corner Malady abounds In our souls In our souls In our souls See the way the sun sets Twilight of this life Man is making little bets Playing with our lives All that I believe now Anything is possible A simple explanation For the evil in this world And in our souls In our souls In our souls In our souls Hoo-hoo, go Come down to sorry and sable It's always the man It's always keeping you down Bow down 'cause I see it before me Shadow and light That always keeps you running Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now, yeah Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh (no!) Look at you and your struggle for freedom But you ain't nothing We all pay the man for living Wouldn't it be nice for a change now To be unchained? My life is for me now This is life This is life This is life This is life To pay the man (no) Pay the man (no) Pay the man (no) It's the man (no) Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now, yeah Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Hoo-hoo, go! Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh (don't) (No) oh-oh-oh (stop, no) Oh-oh Shut up, you talk too much Oh-oh-oh Pay the man now, yeah My life is for me Oh-oh-oh
