Dave Davies - Money & Corruption / I Am Your Man lyrics

(Sung by Chorus) We are sick and tired Of being promised this and that We work all day, we sweat and slave To keep the wealthy fat They fill our heads with promises And bamboozle us with facts Then they put on false sincerity Then they laugh behind our backs Money and Corruption Are ruining the land Crooked politicians Betray the working man Pocketing the profits And treating us like sheep And we're tired of hearing promises That we know they'll never keep Money and Corruption Are ruining the land Crooked politicians Betray the working man Pocketing the profits And treating us like sheep And we're tired of hearing promises That we know they'll never keep Promises, promises, all we get are promises Show us a man who'll understand us, guide us and lead us We are sick and tired Of having to ask them cap in hand We crawl on the floor We beg for more But still we are ignored We're tired of being herded Like a mindless flock of sheep And we're tired of hearing promises That we know they'll never keep Money and Corruption Are ruining the land Crooked politicians Betray the working man Pocketing the profits And treating us like sheep And we're tired of hearing promises We know they'll never keep We've got to stand together Every woman, every man Because money and corruption are ruining the land Show us a man who'll be our Saviour and will lead us Show us a man who'll understand us, guide us and lead us Show us a man Workers of the nation unite Workers of the nation unite (Mr. Black sings) I visualise a day when people will be free And we'll be living in a new society No cla** distinction, no slums or poverty I have a vision of a new society And every home will have a stereo and TV A deep freeze, quadrasonic and a washing machine So workers of the nation unite I am your man I'll work out a five-year plan So vote for me brothers And I will save this land And we will nationalise the wealthy companies And all the directors will be answerable to me There'll be no shirking of responsibilities So people of the nation unite Union Man I'll work with you hand in hand For we're all brothers to our Union Man I am your man Oh God how I love this land So join together save the Fatherland I visualize a day when people will be free And we'll be living in a new society No cla** distinction, no slums or poverty So workers of the nation unite Workers of the nation unite People of the nation unite
