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






Hey you, do you ever cry - for the child? 

Falling in love with strangers, feeling incomplete, hey that's me
Some are fly, some are shy, some are acting like they own the street, ooh
One minute we're together then the next you're acting really cool, so cool
You can play me any way but don't ever treat me like a fool, no no no

Sometimes so hateful
Sometimes so shy
Don't ask me why

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight
No don't go

Wearing your desperation wrapped me on your sleeve, yes you do
You've got everything you want but you just can't get the things that you need, oh no no no

Sometimes you fake it
Sometimes you lie
Don't ask me why

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, no no no

Sweet baby

You never understood
You never treat me right

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, do you understand?
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, yeah

Weep for the child
Weep
Weep
Weep
in your heart

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, no need
Don't leave me alone to make it
Alone to make it
Alone to make it tonight
