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
This is America
The land of dreams
You're lifting me up again
I feel dangerous scared
My children don't like thunder
My children don't like rain
My children don't like fighting
My children play the game
My children don't like violence
My children don't like change
My children don't like silence
My children don't like pain
Hearts are lost and found
(Take me to America)
Hearts are lost and found
I'll bet you won't stay
Too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
They've given you a start, too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
I cannot function, too bad
My children don't like movies
My children don't have dreams
My children don't think money
My children never scheme
The land of dreams
I've given you everything
That you could ask for
My children don't like thunder
Don't like rain
Change change change
My children don't like thunder
Rain rain rain
