Simone White - I Am The Man lyrics

I used to be angry at the man

The one with the big frying pan

Who takes all the meat and leaves nothing to eat

For the poor with their outstretched hands

But I am the man, I am the man, I am

Yes, I am the man, I am the man

I understand

I used to be scared of the government

Silencing voices of dissent

But the voices of scared folk will never be heard

open your throat and sing like a bird

'Cause in my own government I am the president

Yes, it's my own government I represent

Stop pointing the finger at yourself

Look in the mirror and see how your enemy fell

I used to think I was alone

A motherless child far from home

But the family I found is in everyone

Open your heart it's time you've come

Home

Is the house you build with your bones

Yes, home is the house you build with your bones
