Mister Man

Culture Club • Colour By Numbers (1983)

On the street they're preaching violence
Mister Man is in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I live 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's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the street the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good messiah
To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I hate the things you do, yeah?
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's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

Mister Man's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait
