The Offspring — Pay the Man

[Part I] [Verse 1] See the way the wind blows, lives are intertwined Watch the way the world goes, the man deals out our plight Jester in the corner laughs without a sound Jester in the corner, malady abounds [Refrain 1] In our souls In our souls In our souls [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain 2] And in our souls In our souls In our souls In our souls [Part II] [Interlude 1] Hoo-hoo, go! [Verse 3] Come down to sorry and sable, it's always the man It's always been keeping you down Bow down 'cause I see it before me, shadow and light That always keeps you runnin' [Chorus 1] Ho-ho, shut up, you talk too much Ho-ho-ho, pay the man, now, yeah Ho-ho, shut up, you talk too much Ho-ho, no (No, no) [Verse 4] Look at you and your struggle for freedom, but you ain't nothin' 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 [Bridge] But, this is life, this is life This is life, this is life Pay the man (No!), pay the man (No!) Pay the man (No!), it's the man (No, no, no!) [Chorus 1] Ho-ho, shut up, you talk too much Ho-ho-ho, pay the man, now, yeah Ho-ho, shut up, you talk too much Ho-ho-ho [Interlude 2] Hoo-hoo, go! Ho-oh Ho-oh Ho-oh (Don't! No!) Ho-oh (Stop! Oh) [Chorus 2] Ho-ho, shut up, you talk too much Ho-ho-ho, pay the man, now, yeah [Outro] My life is for me, ho-ho-ho [Part III: Pretty Fly for a White Guy (Reprise)] [Verse] Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis And all the girlies say, I'm pretty fly for a white guy Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
