Lindisfarne - The Man Down There lyrics

Duffy Though the trinkets of glory have fallen my way I haven't got what I had yesterday I have forgotten what I had to say It's one for the man down there One for the man down there. Although it's not new, it's been said before While I'm just sitting, I'll say it once more As soon as you sign it, it becomes law One more for the man down there One more for the man down there. And as I try to look life in the face Forced to partake in this so human race You look for your money, it's gone, left no trace It's gone to the man down there It's gone to the man down there. The man down there says he'll take good care of you By this time next week you'll hold the sun He will remove all the pain and misery One day you'll look, see you're gone. Well, the bossman is clever, he always will be Behind it all I'm starting to see He's getting rich from the likes of you and me It's all for the man down there It's all for the man down there. The man down there says he'll take good care of you One day you'll look, see you're gone.
