lyrics

STICK IT TO THE MAN, STAN COPYRIGHT BEN BALLINGER - 2015

1. STARDUST AND DIRT, SKINCELLS AND BLOOD, 
TIMBER AND BRICKS, COTTON CORN AND RUST,
AMERICA WAS MADE OF THIS STUFF

2. MY GRANDPA PAID HIS DUES, MY FATHER PAID THEM TOO,
I SEE WHERE THE MONEY GOES AND I SEE HOW IT IS USED,
AND I WANT THE MAN TO KNOW THAT I REFUSE

3. WELL THE JOBS I’VE HAD JUST GETTIN’ BY
WOULDA BROKE THE MAN'S BACK OPEN HIS EYES
I DIDN'T CHEAT OR STEAL TO EARN MY KEEP,
I DIDN'T BEG OR BORROW OR LIE
AND THE MAN HASN'T WORKED AND HONEST DAY IN HIS LIFE
(I WORKED FOR A LIVING, I FUCKING WORKED OUTSIDE)

CHORUS:
SO ROUST THE RABBLE ROUSERS,
WEAR YOUR FAVORITE DIRTY TROUSERS,
WEAR A WIG AND BRING A LIGHTER,
ALL YOUR REAL FRIENDS PLAY WITH FIRE
STICK IT TO THE MAN STAN, STICK IT TO THE MAN x2
OUR’S WILL BE THE SHIT THAT HITS HIS FAN
STICK IT TO THE MAN STAN, STICK IT TO THE MAN

4. THIS TIME I'M VOTING WITH MY FEET , GONNA MARCH UNTIL I'M FREE,
THERE ARE SOME TRUTHS I HOLD TO BE SELF EVIDENT TO YOU AND ME,
OR AT LEAST IN THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON DC

5. SO OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS, ITS NOT ABOUT LEFT AND RIGHT,
WHOEVER'S LEFT MUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE ALL HUMAN HAVE SOME PRIDE, LETS ALL JOIN UP AND GIVE THE MAN A FIGHT
