The Man

Dont let em take your dreams, boy, and turn them into something green Cause they'll lie to your face and lie through their teeth to rope you into the big machine They'll feed off of you and take all the blood that you can give Cause they don't give a damn as long as they can find a way for themselves to live They'll tend to their money off a couple young kids who don't know of any better to do Than to run and sign a deal and not read between the lines, and become indebted to The man who doesn't give a damn about you or the things that you stand for The man who wouldn't lend a hand if you were at your lowest low and in a 10 foot hole Seems like they'll never understand Don't let em fool you once boy cause they'll tell you they can get you money and fame For the small price of a fortune of your soul, you could be livin' the dream Dont let em take your values, remember what your daddy taught you Dont get lost runnin' towards a dollar sign, cause at the end of the day, They'll take all of what you got, and you'll lose that peace of mind They'll tend to make their money off a poor boy just like you Who doesn't know any better than to run and sign a deal, and become indebted to The man who doesn't give a damn about you or the things that you stand for The man who wouldn't lend a hand if you were at your lowest low and in a 10 foot hole Seems like they'll never understand Dont let em take your dreams boy and turn them into something green Cause they'll lie to your face and lie through their teeth to rope you into the big machine They'll feed off of you and take all the blood that you can give Cause they don't give a damn as long as they can find a way for themselves to live
