See the way the wind blows Lives are intertwined Watch the way the world goes The man deals out our plight
Jester in the corner Laughs without a sound Jester in the corner Malady abounds
In our souls In our souls In our souls
See the way the sun sets Twilight of this life The man is making little bets Playing with our lives
All that I believe now Anything is possible A simple explanation For the evil in this world
And in our souls In our souls In our souls In our souls
Oooh oooh, no
Come down to sorry and sable It′s always the man He′s always keeping you down Bow down ′cause I see it before me Shadow and light That always keeps you running
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much Oooh, pay the man now, yeah Oooh, shut up, you talk too much Oooh, pay now, pay now, now, now
Look at you and your struggle for freedom But you ain′t nothing We all pay the man for living Wouldn′t it be nice for a change now To be unchained My life is for me now
But this is life This is life This is life This is life
Pay the man now Pay the man now Pay the man now He′s the man, now
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much Oooh, pay the man now, yeah Oooh, shut up, you talk too much Oooh
Oooh oooh, no
Whoa Whoa Whoa (now, now) Whoa (now)
Oooh, shut up, you talk too much Oooh, pay the man now, yeah

I feel the oppression Every time that I think How time has changed What I am
I look in the mirror I don′t know who I see Where is the man That I′ve once been
Sometimes I feel That the things I love Are the things I hate And sometimes I know That I′m torn up inside And the man that I am Is a man that I don′t know
A silence inside me Quiet and deep So loud that my ears Almost bleed
Anxiety is hunting me Paralyzing my mind Lying on the ground I still fall
Sometimes I feel That the things I love Are the things I hate And sometimes I know That I′m torn up inside And the man that I am Is a man that I don′t know
I heard somebody fixed today There was no last goodbyes to say His will to live ran out I heard somebody turned to dust
Looking back at what he left A list of plans and photographs Songs that never will be sung These are the things he won′t get done The things he won′t get done
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I′ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands They fight a war, but it′s fatal; it′s so hard to understand I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
Just one shot to say "goodbye" One last taste to mourn and cry, cry Scores and shoots, the lights go dim Just one shot to do him in
He hangs his head and wonders why Why the monkey only lies, lies But pay the pauper, he did choose He hung his head inside the noose
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I′ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands They fight a war, but it′s fatal; it′s so hard to understand I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end I′ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
Now we′re Anthrax And we take no shit And we don′t care for writing hits ′Cause the sound you hear is what we like And I′ll steal your pop tarts like I stole your... socks Yo man, what′s a matter with you
Charlie beats the beats the beats you beat The only thing harder is the smell of my feet So listen up ′cause you might get dissed Go drain the lizard or take a... chair
Watch the beat!
I′m on your case I′m in your face Put you and your father back in place Step up sucker understand Don′t you know that I′m the Man I′m the Man I′m so bad I should be in detention I′m the Man
Shut up!
We got real def rhythms and fresh new jams If you think we got egos, well we′re all just hams Scott plays stickball and likes to skate Frankie′s never on time; he′s always... Sleeping Late!
They drink the drinks they drinks they drank I put my money in the bank They cut their crack; they offer joints We don′t do drugs to get our... Meaning! POINT!
Watch the beat!
I′m on your case I′m in your face Put you and your father back in place Step up sucker understand Don′t you know that I′m the Man I′m the Man I′m so bad I should be in detention I′m the Man
For a heavy metal band raps a different way We like to be different and not cliche Well they say rap and metal can never mix Well of them can suck our... Sexual organ located in the lower abdominal area No man, it′s dick!
Danny farted the farts the farts he farted I pick my nose but I′m not retarded So like El Duce says, "smell my anal vapor" And wipe my butt with your... Face! Toilet paper! Watch the beat!
I′m on your case I′m in your face Put you and your father back in place Step up sucker understand Don′t you know that I′m the Man I′m the Man I′m so bad I should be in detention I′m the Man
So as this rap is winding down Can′t you see we wear the crown You know Anthrax is number one But we really don′t care; we just want to have... A festival! FUN, you stupid idiot!
Joey mailed the mail the mail he mailed We are the kings and all shall hail We′re like a diamond that is forever And we′ll remain the hardest ever
I used to cry myself to sleep at night But that was all before he came I thought love had to hurt to turn out right But now he′s here It′s not the same, it′s not the same
Chorus: He fills me up He gives me love More love than I′ve ever seen He′s all I′ve got, He′s all I′ve got in this world But he′s all the man that I need
And in the morning when I kiss his eyes He takes me down and rocks me slow And in the evening when the moon is high He holds me close and won′t let go He won′t let go
Going back to the corner where I first saw you, Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I′m not gonna move, Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand, Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am, Some try to hand me money they don′t understand, I′m not... broke I′m just a broken hearted man, I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do, How can I move on when I′ve been in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you′d come back here to the place that we′d meet, And you′d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I′m not moving... I′m not moving.
Policeman says son you can′t sit her, I said there′s someone I′m waiting for if it′s a day, a month, a year, Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows, If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you′d come back here to the place that we′d meet, And you′d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I′m not moving... I′m not moving.
I′m not moving... I′m not moving.
People talk about the guy Whos waiting on a girl... Oohoohwoo There on no hole in his shoes But a big hole in his world... Hmmmm
Maybe I′ll get famous as man who can′t be moved, And maybe you won′t mean to but you′ll see me on the news, And you′ll come running to the corner... Cos you′ll know it′s just for you
I′m the man who can′t be moved I′m the man who can′t be moved...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you′d come back here to the place that we′d meet, And you′d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street. [Repeat in backgroung]
So I′m not moving... I′m not moving.
I′m not moving... I′m not moving.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you, Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I′m not gonna move.
[Travis:] They say anything is possible And life′s just another obstacle Well show me the manual And the man responsible I went lookin for answers in the hospital And came back wit a pocket full When I stole the manual And killed the man responsible
Now we all make mistakes But those mistakes just make us who we are And not who we choose to be (no) My faith got misplaced Somewhere between a superstar And the boy that I used to be
[T-Pain Hook:] Hey hey I′m just tryin to be who you say you are, but who are you I′m just tryin to be who you say are the stars and who is cool But who am I (ooooo) I′m the dude responsible, hey But who am I (ooooo) hey I′m the dude responsible

They said clothes don′t make the man But I′m gonna show you how fresh I am As soon as I pay my water bill And a couple other bills
They said they got a cure for my smile Rather for my lack there of So they gave me another pill But it was just a water pill (Greatest!)
You know we all make mistakes But they just make us insecure And a little uncomfortable
My faith got misplaced Between who I was before (Hey) And the dude you think you know (Heeeyyyy)
