On the street they're preaching violence
  Mr Man it's in your head
  On the street the midnight cowboy
  Needs no gun to shoot you dead
  
  Why do I act the way I do
  Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you
  
  Mister Man full of love
  Mister Man full of hate
  Got his heart on the trigger
  But he pulled it too late
  Mister Man is a pilot
  Mister Man is a fake
  Mister Man is feeling hungry
  And he's lying in wait
  
  On the streets the lights are fighting
  Searching for someone like you
  Better find a good Messiah
  To help the sad and lonely through
  
  Why do I act the way I do
  Ain't it obvious I'm much more black than blue
  
  Mister Man full of love
  Mister Man full of hate
  Got his heart on the trigger
  But he pulled it too late
  Mister Man is a pilot
  Mister Man is a fake
  Mister Man is feeling hungry
  And he's lying in wait
