Man Of The Earth
The Stranglers

The city blues they strike againnAnother worker drops his pennHe wants to be donenAnd out on the runnnAway from her curse, he'd swap all his worthnTo be a man of the earthnFor 2 or 3 weeks of the yearnAn Easter Bunny brings Christmas cheernnHe's out of his head and toasting the deadnAnd feeling much worse, he'd swap all his worthnTo be a man of the earthnTo swap all his worthnnTo be a man of the earthnWords become the man if only he could write a sonnetnHe'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earthnA man of the earth, he'd swap all his worthnnTo be a man of the earthnThe wife and kids are already therenThey're polishing his wicker chair it's looking so bleaknAt the end of the week he'll be needing a nursennHe'd swap all his worth to be a man of the earthnA man of the earthnWords become the man if only he could write a sonnetnHe'd place his life upon it to be a man of the earthnnA man of the earth, he'd swap all his worthnTo be a man of the earthnA man of the earth
