the man

Lyrics

oh what an outrage, she didn't wake till the sun woke her round the midday, and her body too sore, but she tips on her toes like it's ballet, yeah the weekdays are feeling the others, oh need an escape, yeah some of these thrills, yeah, some of these pills come cheaper than the others, and she called me up from her desk and asked if i wanna pop another, and hang out in nirvana, i ain't seen her since summer, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can, woah, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can, sun going down, so i leave the west and i head to her side of town, and she opens wide with a pink oval in her mouth, baby i'll take what you got cooking, and now the stars coming out, takes one last drag of her cigarette then she put it out, must of been a hour skin is buzzing, wow, baby are we running are we, are we running are we flying, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can, woah, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can, we're running oh, and we don't know, where we're going, past five in the morning, five in the morning, when the phones ring, hear the bells and the cars and the birds sing, and we're twenty below in the morning, when we cut all the ties and we're done for the night, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can, woah, ooh, living for the man, ooh, living for the man, ooh, dreaming while we can
