strings on your dirty hands
poles tell you what to say
Sold to the man, sold to the man
You're bought and paid for,
Sold to the man, sold to the man
You do the best that money
Smiles in the front room,
the hell with the common good
Sold to the man, sold to the man
You're bought and paid for,
Sold to the man, sold to the man
You'll do the best that money can
Told I could be that one man
Told I could be that one man
You'll never see the little man
Fools to the left, clowns to the right
Lost all distinction, lost all my way
You look away, fat cats are gonna play
Soul to the man, soul to the man
You're about to pay for it,
Soul to the man, soul to the man
You do the best that one can
Sold out to be that workman
Sold out to be that workman
You'll never see the old man
Sold out to be that workman
We could a we could build
