Kinks - Money Corruption / I Am Your Man Lyrics
(sung by chorus)We are sick and tiredOf being promised this and that.We work all day, we sweat and slaveTo keep the wealthy fat.They fill our heads with promisesAnd bamboozle us with facts,Then they put on false sincerityThen they laugh behind our backs.1st chorusMoney and corruptionAre ruining the landCrooked politiciansBetray the working man,Pocketing the profitsAnd treating us like sheep,And were tired of hearing promisesThat we know theyll never keep.Money and corruption(etc. repeat 1st chorus above)Promises, promises, all we get are promises.Show us a man wholl understand us, guide us and lead us.We are sick and tiredOf having to ask them cap in handWe crawl on the floorWe beg for more,But still we are ignored.Were tired of being herdedLike a mindless flock of sheepAnd were tired of hearing promisesThat we know theyll never keep.1st chorusMoney and corruptionAre ruining the landCrooked politiciansBetray the working man,Pocketing the profitsAnd treating us like sheep,And were tired of hearing promisesWe know theyll never keep.Weve got to stand togetherEvery woman, every man,Because money and corruption are ruining the land.Show us a man wholl be our saviour and will lead us.Show us a man wholl understand us, guide us and lead us.Show us a man.Workers of the nation unite.Workers of the nation unite.(mr. black sings)I visualise a day when people will be freeAnd well be living in a new society.No class distinction, no slums or povertyI have a vision of a new society.And every home will have a stereo and tv,A deep freeze, quadrasonic and a washing machine.So workers of the nation unite.I am your manIll work out a five-year planSo vote for me brothersAnd I will save this landAnd we will nationalise the wealthy companiesAnd all the directors will be answerable to me,Therell be no shirking of responsibilitiesSo people of the nation unite.Union man Ill work with you hand in handFor were all brothers to our union man.I am your man,Oh God how I love this land,So join together save the fatherland.I visualize a day when people will be freeAnd well be living in a new society.No class distinction, no slums or poverty,So workers of the nation unite,Workers of the nation unite,People of the nation unite.
