I'M a Man

I'm a good man, with a creative mind My moral standards are higher than Mother Theresa I'm a bad man, I'm a disgrace to my kind But I’m the wave of the future and you're out of season I’m a new man, and I am storking the castles Of traditional life ‘cause that's not what I’m seeking I’m a free man, with my own point of views you'd better hioe your kids 'cause it's to them that I'm speaking I’m a young man, but even I’m not blind To the oppression you've caused, it has the populace screaming I’m an old man, and I will speak my mind But every time that I do, you call me a daemon I’m a superman, and with my common sense I can tell when you're lying ‘cause your mouth is open I’m the hangman, and if I have my way You'll do the dangling tap dance at the end of a rope I’m a true man, and I am brutally honest People say it's a fault, but I think it's an asset I’m a false man, I live in my own world I just pretent to be stupid ‘cause I know you expect it I’m a sick man, my sense of humor is cutting people call me a racist but my friends know I'm joking I am one man, but if we all stick together Our voices will echo ‘til the silence is broken
