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 souls

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 souls

In our souls

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


Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man

Shut up you talk too much

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

But this is life
Pay the man


Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too much

Pay the man
