Man In The Street Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I'm not a happy guy 

But I'm not always sad 

And I'm no millionaire 

But I don't do so bad 

But no matter who you think you are 

There's always someone with a different view 

There's always someone thinks he's got a right 

To say what's good for you 

So how do you know 

That the man in the street don't care 

And why don't you care 

When the man in the street don't know 

Anyway 

I'm not a clever guy 

But I'm sure not that dumb 

Don't have the inside news 

But I know what goes on 

And if you put your faith in God above 

Or if you watch the skies for Superman 

There's always times when you can see the answers 

Slip right through their hands 

So how do you know 

That the man in the street don't care 

And why don't you care 

When the man in the street don't know 

Anyway 

So no matter who they think they are 

As they tell you who to fight or how to dance 

Why don't you give yourself a break 

And give us all a chance 

'Cause how do you know 

That the man in the street don't care 

And why don't you care 

When the man in the street don't know
