lyrics

This is the sound of a shot in the dark
This is the sound of a walk through the park
This is the sound of a merry-go-round
This is the sound of your dog in the pound

This is the sound of the face you made
That time the face you made me want to break your face

This is the sound of the lost and the found
This is the sound of a man about town
His parents must be proud

M.A.N.

These are the hands of a man with a plan
These are the feet on the street with a beat
This is the face of first place in the race
This is a soul full of holes, black as coal

This is a cock that can walk
Don't you mock my big cock or I'll use it to knock your block off

These are the lies you told time and again
These are the fevered dreams of a mad, mad man
And his adoring fans

M.A.N.
I don't speak from experience
M.A.N.
I'm just the voice of a generation
M.A.N.
Don't you know if you're having fun
M.A.N.
That just means that you're doing it wrong?
