See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes
The man deals out our plightJester in the corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds
In our soulsSee the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
The man is making little bets
Playing with our livesAll that I believe now
Anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world
And in our souls
In our soulsCome down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
Always keeping you downBow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you runningShut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too muchLook at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain't nothing
We all pay the man for livingWouldn't it be nice for a change now
To be unchained
My life is for me now
But this is life
Pay the manShut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
