Hey man where you been You cant run away From the life you made your own Now that its gone and left you down and out Youre not so complete Now what do you say All the answers you propose Nobody chose to hear this time around Hey man youre so vain You rise up again To perform to pressure now No way to treat that precious heart at all Calm down youre too proud Now what do you know You present some facts to face But nobody chose to look this time around Head in the clouds No silver lining What could be wrong Hey man why so blue Whats come over you Sentimental apathy Aint gonna buy no sympathy today Wide world wearing thin Wild words deafening Shout about integrity And then you go and throw your dignity away Were all the same Were all to blame What could be wrong, yeah Hey man you got carried away Carrying on the games that you play Playing is not the way to win cos winning can be a way that you lose And losing is not the way you would choose Given the choice youre trying to change Changing again youre carried away Do you remember the day So long ago so far behind That history wrought in the fire That filled your mind with mad desire Chasing the centuries down Long roads you cut through flesh and field Pulling the past as you run And its dragged you to your knees Its time to pray Its getting harder to pay Too many people For the rent Given a number of ways Is there no way you can change Hey man sing the blues
