Man — текст песни (Level 42)

Hey man where you been

You cant run away

From the life you made your own

Now that its gone and left you down and out

Youre not so complete

Now what do you say

All the answers you propose

Nobody chose to hear this time around



Hey man youre so vain

You rise up again

To perform to pressure now

No way to treat that precious heart at all

Calm down youre too proud

Now what do you know

You present some facts to face

But nobody chose to look this time around



Head in the clouds

No silver lining

What could be wrong



Hey man why so blue

Whats come over you

Sentimental apathy

Aint gonna buy no sympathy today

Wide world wearing thin

Wild words deafening

Shout about integrity

And then you go and throw your dignity away



Were all the same

Were all to blame

What could be wrong, yeah



Hey man you got carried away

Carrying on the games that you play

Playing is not the way to win

cos winning can be a way that you lose

And losing is not the way you would choose

Given the choice youre trying to change

Changing again youre carried away



Do you remember the day

So long ago so far behind

That history wrought in the fire

That filled your mind with mad desire

Chasing the centuries down

Long roads you cut through flesh and field

Pulling the past as you run

And its dragged you to your knees

Its time to pray



Its getting harder to pay

Too many people

For the rent



Given a number of ways

Is there no way you can change



Hey man sing the blues
