Mister Man

On the street they're preaching violence

Mister Man, it's in your head

On the street the midnight cowboy

Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I live the way I do?

Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you?

Mister Man, full of love

Mister Man, full of hate

Got his heart on the trigger

But he pulled it too late

Mister Man is a pilot

Mister Man is a fake

Mister Man's feeling hungry

And he's lying in wait

On the street the lights are fighting

Searching for someone like you

Better find a good Messiah

To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I live the way I do?

Ain't it obvious I'm much more black than blue?

Mister Man, full of love

Mister Man, full of hate

Got his heart on the trigger

But he pulled it too late

Mister Man is a pilot

Mister Man is a fake

Mister Man's feeling hungry

And he's lying in wait

Mister Man

Mister Man

Mister Man

On the street they're preaching violence

Mister Man, it's in your head

On the street the midnight cowboy

Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I live the way I do?

Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you?

Mister Man, full of love

Mister Man, full of hate

Got his heart on the trigger

But he pulled it too late

Mister Man is a pilot

Mister Man is a fake

Mister Man's feeling hungry

And he's lying in wait

Mister Man, full of love

Mister Man, full of hate

Got his heart on the trigger

But he pulled it too late

Mister Man is a pilot

Mister Man is a fake

Mister Man's feeling hungry

And he's lying in wait

Mister Man, full of love

Mister Man, full of hate

Got his heart on the trigger

But he pulled it too late

Mister Man
