"Man In The Glass" lyrics

"Man In The Glass"

When you get what you want in your struggle for yourself
And the world makes you a king for a day
Just go to the mirror, look at yourself
See what that man has to say
There may be some people think you got it down
Look at you like a super fly
But the man in the glass knows you're a clown
If you can't look him straight in the eye

You're not your father, your mother
Sister or your brother
Banker, or the baker, nor the cabinet-maker
Not the high rollin' shaker, people
It's the man in the glass

There's man in a big house lives on top of the hill
Who's number one in the people's eyes
He tries to make everything so perfectly clear
Starting to believe in his own lies
They say it takes a big man to admit he's wrong
It even takes a little bit of class
When you stand on the truth
You know you belong
You're the friend of the man in the glass

You're not your father, your mother
Sister or your brother
Banker, or the baker, nor the cabinet-maker
Not the high rollin' shaker, people
It's the man in the glass

It's not your lover, teacher
Neighbor or the preacher
Statesman, postman, bailsman, boatsman
Not the high rollin' shaker, people
You got answer to...
