Written after a recent presidential election. I think it still holds true.
lyrics
The Man is hansome and the man is cool, and the Man has impressive skills
But the Man won't drive your kids to school or pay your cell phone bills
The Man won't turn your TV off, you have to do that yourself
And the Man won't sit your children down and pick a book from off the shelf
Hey there are plenty of things that the Man can do But fix your life is not one of them
Problems will still exist and you'll still have a ton of them
You'll still have trouble sleeping and your daughter still will date that jerk
And of course it goes without saying you'll continue to hate your work
And people will die and children will cry and the Man will screw up so will you so will I
But maybe if we all just do our best then things will turn out all right
The Man might change a lot of things but the Man won't change your tires
And the Man cannot protect us all from fools and forest fires
No the Man won't change your tires for you and the Man won't pay your rent
The Man would never die for you
The Man's not Heaven sent
The Man's not Heaven sent
