Extreme comes from the left and right
Looks like itâs gonna be a bloody fight
Beat the system, this rat raceâ¦oh
But a sad tale it seems
Theyâll take the good just to spin it on its head
Commercialize the concept to death
Advertise for the greedy thieves
Who spin things out maliciously
Theyâll hunt you down if you talk bad about âem
Make you scream if you try to squeeze it out of âem
Yes itâs blues for me and you
While they dance to their selfish tune
Like a wolf hunting my sheep I had to scream
And try to make it okay for everything
I think fair share hasnât been shared at all
They try and take and take and take, giving out little by little
In numbers we strengthen, this is our only earth
This is rightfully mine since birth
Theyâll shake our world and control the weather
But my storm is fierce and will strike down upon them
Here I am
A simple man
A man for the people âgainst the other men
Playing this guitar and hoping youâll hear it
Saying these words Lord I know you fear it
Cause the hell hounds, you know are on our trail
For the unfair equality
You canât stop my words, you canât stop me
For if we are together we will not fall
If our words hold true they cannot fault at all
I believe in honor
Not making things worse
If my government donât wanna give a damn
Well fire and replace them first
If corporate donât wanna pay well I wonât work
If they canât pronounce my name, theyâll have to learn
Yes here we are
The tortured and forgotten
With debt of illusion, not playing your game
Here comes the children you cannot teach
Here comes the poverty, here comes the preach
Here lies a patriot who has to fight in a war
Hereâs a politician with a constant closed door
Here I am
A simple man
A man for the people âgainst the other men
Playing this guitar and hoping youâll hear it
For the hell hounds, Lord you know theyâre on our trail
