lyrics

it starts the day that you're born
when he slaps you on your back
it ends the day that you die
and it's too late to attack
"the man" is the man who holds you down
or the woman who makes you pay
so don't always let
them get away with it
you can change your life today
there will come a day
when you will be afraid
that you aren't doing everything you can
there will come a day
when you will feel betrayed
you never tempted fate
and now it's way too late
because you never stick it to the man
it was "the man" who made you eat your peas
when you were only nine
and "the man" is the man is who signs your checks
while you slave on the production line
you've seen him, heard him, you mowed his lawn
he busted you when you stayed out a little too long
if you've never been paranoid then tonight's the night
'cause he's been sticking you for your entire life
you shouldn't worry about how to do it
it comes easy after time
pretend it's your job to get even with the world
and then you'll do just fine
steal some gum, cheat on your taxes
go to work early and send personal faxes
take two papers when you only pay for one
getting back at "the man" can be pretty fun
