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
I know a song ain't good enough to let you know how I feel
I'll sing it hard, I'll sing it sweet, to let you know that it's real
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
All the things I say and do, everything I learn from you defeats me
And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I know it's wrong to blame the past for everything that I do
I fool the world most of the time but there's no fooling you
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
Everything I say and do, all I learn from you defeat me
And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
What you see ain't always what you get
No matter how clear it seems
One minute lovers, then the next...
Oh oh no
Oh no
I let you down, yeah yeah
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
Let you down
