Lyrics

See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes
The man deals out our plight

Jester in the corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds

In our souuuuls (x3)

See the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
The man is making little bets
Playing with our lives

All that I believe now
Anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world

And in our souuuls
In our souuuuls (x3)

Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
Always keeping you down

Bow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running

Ooooohh ooohhh
Shut up, you talk too much
Ooooohh ooohhh
Pay the man, now yeah!
Ooooohh ooohh
Shut up, you talk much
Ooooohh ooohh
Noooo!

Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain't nothing
We all pay the man for living

Wouldn't it be nice for a change now
To be unchained
My life is for me now

This is life (x4)

Pay the man "noww" (x3)
He's alive!!

Ooooohh ooohhh
Shut up, you talk too much
Ooooohh ooohhh
Pay the man, now yeah!
Ooooohh ooohh
Shut up, you talk too much
Ooooohh ooohh

Ooh ohh goo!!

Ho ho ho ho hoooo
Ho ho ho ho hoooo
Ho ho ho ho hoooo "go!"
Ho ho ho ho hoooo "go! go!"

Ooooohh ooohhh
Shut up, you talk too much
Ooooohh ooohhh
Pay the man, now yeah!

My life fits for me
Hoo hooo hooooooooooo...
