In an office high above us all
|
An executive received an important phonecall
|
He said "Yes, sir, I'll do all that I can."
|
Said "Goodbye," and hung up with the Man
|
That's the Man
|
Pulling all the strings
|
That's the Man
|
In charge of everything
|
And the trumpet sings,
|
|
"I'm tired of working for the Man
|
For the Man
|
I'm tired of working for the Man"
|
|
Get up, get up, get out of bed...
|
|
Another hopeless dawn dawns on the hopeful people
|
The bell strikes nine up in the steeple
|
People work hard, doing all they can
|
Putting money in the bank account of the Man
|
That's the Man
|
Pulling all the strings
|
That's the Man
|
When the alarm clock rings
|
And the trumpet sings,
|
|
Get up, get up, get out of bed...
|
|
"I'm tired of working for the Man
|
For the Man
|
I'm tired of working for the Man"
|
|
Meanwhile back up in the office
|
They're making charts to graph the profits
|
They will work their whole life span
|
To line the pockets of the Man
|
That's the Man
|
Pulling all the strings
|
That's the Man
|
In charge of everything
|
And the trumpet sings,
|
|
"I'm tired of working for the Man
|
For the Man
|
I'm tired of working for the Man"
|
|
Get up, get up,
|
Get up, get up, get out of bed...
