"You're The Man (Alternate Version)" lyrics

"You're The Man (Alternate Version)"

Well, you been talkin', talkin' to the people
Tryin' to get them to go your way
Telling us, telling us not to worry
You say we won't be led astray
We're so tired of your signifying
How do we know, 'til it's too late
Whether or not you've been lying?
Think about the mistakes you make
I believe, sir, that humanity's at stake
You see, busin', busin' is just one issue, one issue
What about the rest of it, mister?

Well, if you've got the plan
I said, you, if you've got the master plan
I got to vote for you, ah yeah
I got to vote for you
'Cause you're the man, I know, ah yeah

Maybe what this country needs is a lady for president
No, we don't wanna hear no more lies
About how you plan to economize
We want our dollar value increased
And employment to rise
This heavy taxation has got us all in this awful situation
Now, don't, don't give us no peace sign
Turn around and rob the people blind
Oh, economics, money is all you're interested in
Do you have a plan that all the people can share in?

'Cause if you've got the plan
I got to vote for you
'Cause you're the man, I know, oh

People marching on Washington
Why not hear what they have to say?
Because the tables might turn against you
Set around Election Day
Demagogues and admitted minority haters
Should never be President, this time a lady
Will you, will you stop the bombs
And right all the wrongs this administration has done?
I know peace and freedom is the issue, oh Lord
Do you have a plan with you, mister?

'Cause if you've got the plan
I said, you, you've got the master plan
Well I got to vote for you
Oh Lord, I got to vote for you
'Cause you're the man
Woo, got to vote for you
If you're gonna take a stand
I got to vote for you
Gonna be the man?

What about the issues?
What about the young folks?
What about marijuana?
What about peace, peace in the land?
Do you understand?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta take a stand
Then I'll vote for you, I think you're the man
Tell me something, don't run away
Tell me something, gonna see your face
I gotta vote for you, I think that you're the man
Gotta be strong whether you're right or wrong
