Man Lyrics - Level 42

Hey man where you been 

you can't run away 

from the life you made your own 

now that it's gone and left you down and out 

you're not so complete 

now what do you say 

all the answers you propose 

nobody chose to hear this time around 

hey man you're so vain 

you rise up again 

to perform to pressure now 

no way to treat that precious heart at all 

calm down you're too proud 

now what do you know 

you present some facts to face 

but nobody chose to look this time around

head in the clouds 

no silver lining 

what could be wrong 

hey man why so blue 

what's come over you 

sentimental apathy 

ain't gonna buy no sympathy today 

wide world wearing thin 

wild words deafening 

shout about integrity 

and then you go and throw your dignity away 

we're all the same 

we're all to blame 

what could be wrong, yeah 

hey man you got carried away 

carrying on the games that you play 

playing is not the way to win 

'cos winning can be a way that you lose 

and losing is not the way you would choose 

given the choice you're trying to change 

changing again you're carried away 

do you remember the day 

so long ago so far behind 

that history wrought in the fire 

that filled your mind with mad desire 

chasing the centuries down 

long roads you cut through flesh and field 

pulling the past as you run 

and it's dragged you to your knees 

it's time to pray 

it's getting harder to pay 

too many people 

for the rent 

given a number of ways 

is there no way you can change 

Hey man sing the blues
