Lyrics
Wooden Man
You wanna lie
You can't deny
You are a wooden man
Strings on your dirty hands
Wind makes you sway
Polls tell you what to say
You don't think twice
Playing with men and mice
Sold to the man, Sold to the man
You're bought and paid for
Greed has a heavy hand
Sold to the man, Sold to the man
You do the best that money can
Smiles in the frontroom
Deals in the backroom
Access is understood
To hell with the common good
Green is your life blood
Sources are clear as mud
Don't you look nice
Acting on good advice
Sold out to be their wooden man
Sold out to be their wooden man
You'll never see the little man with your hollow eyes
Your hollow eyes
Fools to left
Clowns to the right
Lost all distinction
Lost all my will to fight
Rich are getting richer
Poor doing what they can
You look away
Fat cats will run and play
