Man's World

For year after year we've stomached these views

Starvation can't compare with the royalty's cruise

The world's not dying it's just singing the blues

It might be our turn to read the news

When it's our turn on the News at Ten

Lives'll be back above inflation again

Give a platform for the unemployed views

You don't beat recession forming orderly queues

So if the world's just one big onion

Is that what's making half of us cry

And thos rich enough to fly into space

Are happy just to watch it fry

And cause it's a man's world is that why the men

Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man

Cause if it's true that only the strong survive

He'll survive with a hell of a tan

And cause it's a mans world is that why

The men

Shapped like an apple even easier to bruise

The world stepped forward but with holes in it's shoes

World leaders meed decide who to accuse

It may be our turn to read the news

So if the world's just one big onion

Is that what's making half of us cry

And thos rich enough to fly into space

Are happy just to watch it fry

And cause it's a man's world is that why the men

Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man

Cause if it's true that only the strong survive

He'll survive with a hell of a tan

And cause it's a mans world is that why

The men

The only thing that we wouldn't touch at all

Is we'd let you keep your shitty little weather report

So little clouds placed with occasional showers

Would be all that you'd have to remind you of power

And cause it's a man's world is that why the men

Are trying to narrow it down to just the one man

Cause if it's true that only the strong survive

He'll survive with a hell of a tan

And cause it's a mans world is that why

The men
