The Offspring – Pay The Man lyrics
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

Oooh oooh, no

Come down to sorry and sable
Its always the man
Hes always keeping you down
Bow down cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running

Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay the man now, yeah
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay now, pay now, now, now

Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you aint nothing
We all pay the man for living
Wouldnt 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 now
Pay the man now
Pay the man now
Hes the man, now

Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay the man now, yeah
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh

Oooh oooh, no

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa (now, now)
Whoa (now)

Oooh, shut up, you talk too much
Oooh, pay the man now, yeah

My life is for me, oh, oh, oh
