Man In The Street - Joe Jackson

I’m not a happy guy

But I’m not always sad

And I’m no millionaire

But I don’t do so bad

But no matter who you think you are

There’s always someone with a different view

There’s always someone thinks he’s got a right

To say what’s good for you

So how do you know

That the man in the street don’t care

And why don’t you care

When the man in the street don’t know

Anyway

I’m not a clever guy

But I’m sure not that dumb

Don’t have the inside news

But I know what goes on

And if you put your faith in God above

Or if you watch the skies for Superman

There’s always times when you can see the answers

Slip right through their hands

So how do you know

That the man in the street don’t care

And why don’t you care

When the man in the street don’t know

Anyway

So no matter who they think they are

As they tell you who to fight or how to dance

Why don’t you give yourself a break

And give us all a chance

'Cause how do you know

That the man in the street don’t care

And why don’t you care

When the man in the street don’t know
