the_man_keeps_making_me
Dafremen R. Dafremen

How come every time I walk in the room
You walk out the door?
How come every time I come
You have to go?
Do I remind you too much of responsibility?
Do I remind you of the depressing things in life?
Do I remind you of the fate that time has waiting for you?
Or are you just afraid I'm gonna start telling you what to do
Like the man keeps telling me?

Every day I do what I have to do
Cuz the man keeps making me
And when I walk out the door
And leave you all alone
It's cuz the man keeps making me
Don't you see it's not what I would do?
Put yourself in my shoes if you can
For a moment or two
Take a moment to see that you're who I do it for
Realize that you're what I'm living for
That I've got no choice
But to walk out the door
Because the man keeps making me.

Why do you always run away
When I talk to you?
Why do you shut your ears
To what I have to say?
Do I remind you too much of a cold and heartless world?
Do I remind you too much of authority?
Do I remind you of what you have waiting for you girl?
When I won't hear you out, I'm unfair to you
Like the man's unfair to me

Every day I suffer hypocrisy
Cuz the man keeps making me
And every time I swallow my dignity
It's cuz the man keeps making me
Don't you see that I've got a job to do?
Try to see if you can
From my point of view
I'd rather you learned this lesson now
Rather you learned it
If I could get through somehow
So you know when you walk out the door
That you'll have to do the things
That the man keeps making me.
