Jester in the corner

Laughs without a sound

Jester in the corner

Malady abounds

In our souls



See the way the sun sets

Twilight of this life

The man is making little bets

Playing with our lives



All that I believe now

Anything is possible

A simple explanation

For the evil in this world

And in our souls

In our souls



Come down to sorry and sable

It's always the man

Always keeping you down



Bow down cause I see it before me

Shadow and light

That always keeps you running



Shut up you talk too much

Pay the man

Shut up you talk too much



Look at you and your struggle for freedom

But you ain't nothing

We all pay the man for living



Wouldn't it be nice for a change now

To be unchained

My life is for me now

But this is life

Pay the man



Shut up you talk too much

Pay the man

Shut up you talk too much

Pay the man
