Song Lyrics

On the street they´re preaching violence
Mr Man it´s in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I´m just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he´s lying in wait

On the streets the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good Messiah
To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I act the way I do
Ain´t it obvious I´m much more black than blue

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he´s lying in wait

On the street they´re preaching violence
Mr Man it´s in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no guns to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain´t it obvious I´m just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he´s lying in wait
