Banned (By the Man)

They'll say, my son,

How come you never called?

It's easy 'nough,

so move up and get on with your life

Don't stall

Just come down off the wall and leave behind the corrections

She'll say unto the forces that surround her

Don't get blue and leap into a fire of coke and hash

Some elemental trash

And leave behind the directions

How many days will it take 'til you know the plan?

And how many suns will pass before you understand

You were banned, banned by the man

They'll say, my son,

How come you never call?

It's easy 'nough

You'll feel a little taller

Time cuts slow, but you'll miss it now

You'll know it's me and mine when I make you

How many days will it take 'til you know the plan?

And how many suns will pass before you understand

You were banned, banned, banned

You were banned, banned, banned

By the man, the man, the man
