Paul Heaton - Man's World lyrics

For year after year we've stomached these views Starvation can't compare with the royalty's cruise The world's not dying it's just singing the blues It might be our turn to read the news When it's our turn on the News at Ten Lives'll be back above inflation again Give a platform for the unemployed views You don't beat recession forming orderly queues So if the world's just one big onion Is that what's making half of us cry And those rich enough to fly into space Are happy just to watch it fry And cause it's a man's world is that why the men Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man Cause if it's true that only the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And cause it's a mans world is that why The men Shaped like an apple even easier to bruise The world stepped forward but with holes in it's shoes World leaders meed decide who to accuse It may be our turn to read the news So if the world's just one big onion Is that what's making half of us cry And those rich enough to fly into space Are happy just to watch it fry And cause it's a man's world is that why the men Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man Cause if it's true that only the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And cause it's a mans world is that why The men The only thing that we wouldn't touch at all Is we'd let you keep your sh**ty little weather report So little clouds placed with occasional showers Would be all that you'd have to remind you of power And cause it's a man's world is that why the men Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man Cause if it's true that only the strong survive He'll survive with a hell of a tan And cause it's a mans world is that why The men
