You're the Man (Alternate Version 1)

[Intro]:

A vote to you if you can

Pull the country through

You're the man

[Verse 1]:

You been talking, talking to the people

Trying to get 'em to go your way

Telling us not to worry

You say we won't be led astray

So blind from signifying

Your opponents, following 'em all with lies

Oh, think about the mistakes you made

I believe America's at stake

Busing, busing is an issue

Come on, lemme hear your plan, mister

'Cause, if you've got a plan

If you've got a master plan

[Chorus]:

I got to vote for you

I got to vote for you

You're the man

[Verse 2]:

Oh, we don't wanna hear no lies

No, how you plan to economize

We want our dollar value increased

And employment to rise

The nation's taxation

Is causing all of this inflation

Don't give us no peace sign

Then turn around

And rob the people blind

Economics is the issue

Come on, let me hear your plan, mister

'Cause if you've got a master plan

[Chorus]:

I got to vote for you

You're the man

Oh yeah

[Repeat x5]:

Don't you understand?

There's misery in the land

[Verse 3]:

Hey, hey

People marching on Washington

Why not hear what they have to say?

Because the tables

Might just turn against you, brother

Set around election day

Politics and hypocrites

Is turning us all into lunatics

Can you take the guns from our sons

And right all the wrong

This administration's done

Peace and freedom are the issues

Come on, let me hear you plans, mister

'Cause if you've got the master plan

If you've got the master plan

[Chorus]:

I got to vote for you

I got to vote for you

You're the man

[Outro]:

Help the country

The colored folk

Equality

Unity

Stop them

Got to vote for you

Got to, got to, got to vote for you

Help the people

Save the land

Save the land
