20th Century Man

Hey 20th century man
Got to learn to get whenever you can
Days work for a whole days pay
There ain't no reason and there ain't no way

The only way to make it
Is just go out and take it
Even if you break it

Politicians in high up places
Hiding back the smiling faces
Sure know how to give and take
Fill Swiss banks with the deals they make

Why should we be giving
The world owes us a living
That's the right of a 20th century man

Met a woman at home all day
Husband comes home too tired to play
She takes shelter in her percodan
And gets her loving from another man

She never meant to do it
The times drove her to it
But now that she's been through it

Had a friend but his mind's all through
He's got his money but he wants mine too
Lord he wanted to take so bad
It drove him crazy and it drove him mad

Life for him is over
He never tasted clover
Now he's just a 20th century man
