He's got me waiting in the line,
he's got me losing my mind,
I'm rolling through the 9 to 5
to take a shit on his time.
Pray to him all day and night.
Hours working, schedule tight.
Walking back from work tonight, pound the drugs to hide your plight.
I’m built into the system,
I sit and must assist him.
We’re all a twisted victim, dictum preys on our existence.
This world-wide mad dictator, delivering the paper.
There’s so much green between his hands and your devotion he demands.
Drain the machine.
Use it up for all its worth, we’ve been indoctrinated on this bullshit since before our birth.
I’m sitting on the toilet making money; makes me smirk, makes me long to be wherever such a place that isn’t work.
I’ve got heavy quota, sticking to the rota, saving up my holidays to keep them for a rainy day when I can’t even be bothered to even fucking show up.
Because of The Man
x4
The Man makes money,
makes it flow like honey,
makes sure that his workers hands are tired, and black, and bloody.
The Man makes money,
up and down the country.
Across the world the people swirl, it’s all a bit ugly.
The Man makes money,
let me put it bluntly:
You’re gonna pray to him all day until you find it funny.
The Man makes money,
Monday through to Sunday,
24/7, always his payday.
‘Cause he rules you.
The Man!
He schools you.
The Man!
He fools you.
The Man!
He’s cruel to you.
The Man!
