Lyrics Money & Corruption / I Am Your Man - The Kinks
(Sung
by
Chorus)
We
are
sick
and
tired
Of
being
promised
this
and
that.
We
work
all
day,
we
sweat
and
slave
To
keep
the
wealthy
fat.
They
fill
our
heads
with
promises
And
bamboozle
us
with
facts,
Then
they
put
on
false
sincerity
Then
they
laugh
behind
our
backs.
1st
Chorus
Money
and
Corruption
Are
ruining
the
land
Crooked
politicians
Betray
the
working
man,
Pocketing
the
profits
And
treating
us
like
sheep,
And
we′re
tired
of
hearing
promises
That
we
know
they'll
never
keep.
Money
and
Corruption
(Etc.
repeat
1st
Chorus
above)
Promises,
promises,
all
we
get
are
promises.
Show
us
a
man
who′ll
understand
us,
guide
us
and
lead
us.
We
are
sick
and
tired
Of
having
to
ask
them
cap
in
hand
We
crawl
on
the
floor
We
beg
for
more,
But
still
we
are
ignored.
We're
tired
of
being
herded
Like
a
mindless
flock
of
sheep
And
we're
tired
of
hearing
promises
That
we
know
they′ll
never
keep.

We′ve
got
to
stand
together
Every
woman,
every
man,
Because
money
and
corruption
are
ruining
the
land.
Show
us
a
man
who'll
be
our
Saviour
and
will
lead
us.
Show
us
a
man
who′ll
understand
us,
guide
us
and
lead
us.
Show
us
a
man.
Workers
of
the
nation
unite.
Workers

(Mr.
Black
sings)
I
visualise
a
day
when
people
will
be
free
And
we'll
be
living
in
a
new
society.
No
class
distinction,
no
slums
or
poverty
I
have
a
vision
of
a
new
society.
And
every
home
will
have
a
stereo
and
TV,
A
deep
freeze,
quadrasonic
and
a
washing
machine.
So
workers
of
the
nation
unite.
I
am
your
man
I′ll
work
out
a
five-year
plan
So
vote
for
me
brothers
And
I
will
save
this
land
And
we
will
nationalise
the
wealthy
companies
And
all
the
directors
will
be
answerable
to
me,
There'll
be
no
shirking
of
responsibilities
So
people
of
the
nation
unite.
Union
Man
I'll
work
with
you
hand
in
hand
For
we′re
all
brothers
to
our
Union
Man.
I
am
your
man,
Oh
God
how
I
love
this
land,
So
join
together
save
the
Fatherland.
I
visualize
a
day
when
people
will
be
free
And
we′ll
be
living
in
a
new
society.
No
class
distinction,
no
slums
or
poverty,
So
workers
of
the
nation
unite,
Workers
of
the
nation
unite,
People
of
the
nation
unite.
