Ballad of a Straw Man Songtext
von Los Colognes

He′s overworked
And underpaid
He got laid off
He got no aid
Built his house on sand
Time slips through his hand
He's a straw man
At the end of his day

He ain′t the man of steel
He don't reinvent the wheel
He don't know how to feel
He′s on fire
On a wire
It′s the ballad of a straw man


There's a conspiracy
On his identity
They might be listening
He don′t say anything
In the back rooms on the hill
They got licenses to kill
And now the straw man
Is lookin' to get saved

He ain′t the man of steel
He don't reinvent the wheel
He don′t know how to feel
He's on fire
On a wire
It's the ballad of a straw man
The ballad of a straw man

He walks into the room
With his phone in his hand
Screamin′ in the corner
Sayin′ something 'bout "The Man"
Don′t try to deny him
Don't try to reply to him
He′s a straw man
Set in his way


He ain't the man of steel
He don′t reinvent the wheel
He don't know how to feel
He's on fire
On a wire
It′s the ballad of a straw man
The ballad of a straw man
The ballad of a straw man
The ballad of a straw man
