Lyrics

Mister Man

On the street they're preaching violence

Mister Man is 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 hate the things you do

Yeah

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)

On the street they're preaching violence

Mister Man is 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
