(B. Hugg / M. Hugg)
|
Can you judge a man,
|
By the way he wears his hair?
|
Can you read his mind,
|
By the clothes that he wears?
|
Can you see a bad man,
|
By the pattern on his tie?
|
|
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I.
|
|
Could you tell a wise man,
|
By the way he speaks or spells?
|
Is this more important,
|
Than the stories that he tells?
|
And call a man a fool,
|
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
|
|
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I.
|
|
Do you think in all things
|
the majority is right?
|
That men with individuality
|
should never fight?
|
Can you hate a man
|
that shouts a freedom cry?
|
|
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I.
|
|
|
Can you condemn a man,
|
If you're faith he doesn't hold?
|
Say the colour of his skin,
|
Is the colour of his soul?
|
Could you say that men,
|
For king and country all must die?
|
|
Well, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I,
|
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I.
