The Man

by Tracey Clark

The man in the silk suit is telling you that you will not succeed
He cuts you with his words, then sits back, and watches, let it bleed

One more day you try to keep it all inside
One more nail in the coffin of your pride
You can try to look the other way
Is there something that you really want to say

Stand up when you're asked to, speak out when you're pushed, tell us all what it is your about Get up when you have to, speak out when you're pushed, from a faint whisper to a shout

The man in the shark's tooth necklace is pushing you around
He laughs as he taunts you, it haunts you, he's making you a clown

One more day you'll try to turn and walk way
Can't shake the aura, gonna follow you today
Another chance for you to look the other way
Is there something you really want to say

Stand up when you're asked to, speak out when you're pushed, tell us all what it is your about
Stand up when you have to, speak out when you're pushed, from a faint whisper to a shout

The girl in the red dress shakes her head and rolls her pretty eyes
The fact that you even approached her, it comes as great surprise
One more day you try to keep it all inside
One more nail in the coffin of your pride

You can try to look the other way
Is there something that you really want to say
Stand up when you're asked to, speak out when you're pushed,
tell us all what it is you're about

Stand up when you have to, speak out when you're pushed, from a faint whisper to a shout
