The Offspring - Pay the Man

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...
In our souls...
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...
In our souls...
In our souls...

Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
It's always been 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 now, yeah!
Shut up! You talk too much!
No! No! No!

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!
This is life!
This is life!
This is life!
Pay the man!
No!
Pay the man!
No!

Shut up! You talk too much!
Pay the man now, yeah!
Shut up! You talk too much!

Shut up! You talk too much!
Pay the man now, yeah.

My life is for me...
