Lyrics
The man of the people flies first class, baby
It's a sign of the times and a sad one
But it's true that when he talks
He speaks from the side of his mouth
But he won't speak up for you
And it works like a charm on you
'Cause he makes you think he's earned his blues
And it's worse when he lies to you
Privilege in a flannel shirt
Oh, oh
It's an even exchange and a fair trade, baby
If you want to believe then you might believe
He was raised from the rib of the father
Calls you brother and loves your mother
Oh, oh
It might be he talks like you
But he'll send you away and he won't come through
A beast with a hole in his heart
In his heart, in his heart where you should be
Oh, oh
Faded hearts in the heartland
Faded dreams and crooked plans
Conversations written in the sand
Hungry mouths feed fickle hands
The man of the people flies first class, baby
But he won't take you with him so don't you ask her
The man with a pretty song in his pocket
He's taken your story and he won't give it back
Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la
