lyrics

WORK HARD FOR THE MAN

They all line up for the man
The man who twists and turns
As they watch in awe
They get their strength from the man
He holds the pistols
He holds their souls
He holds the women
And plants the seed
No one asks anything
No one ever breaks through
The self made God
The self made stud
Proselytizes
And surrounds
And nobody does anything
No one ever shuts him down

They all work hard for the man
And he gives them words from the Good Book
Of times long gone
They get their knowledge from the man
He spits his words
Out of spite
As he falls down on his knees
And everybody praises the Lord
Everybody kisses his feet
He creates illusions
He creates disease
Twists and turns
Planting his seed
Writhing in ecstasy and speed

He wrapped them around his waist
Eagerly planting his seed
All insecure inside
But devout on the outside
All the pretty little things
All the pretty little signs
Look good in his proud walk
In his proud machine

They all line up for the man
Barefoot in the field
They’re all thirsty for his blood
They yearn to ascend
They all lean in
They all fall to the ground
For he is the chosen one
The spirit of God on earth
Between a lizard and a king
They all line up to his room
As he thrusts and pulls
As he twists and turns
And makes heavenly babies
In the bedroom
On the grass
In the woods
In the church
Behind the counter
Everybody raises their hands
Everybody feels complete
By the man
