You’re the Man Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Talkin′, talkin' to the people
Try, get them to go your way
Tellin′ lies, not to worry
That we won't be led astray
So blind, unsignified
Your opponents always lyin'
Think about the mistakes you make
I believe America′s at stake

You know, bussin′, bussin' is the issue
Do you have a plan wager? Woo
If, if you have a plan, ah
If you have a master plan

I got to, got to vote for you
Hey, hey, got to vote for you
You′re the man, woo
(You're the man, you′re the man)
Woo (you're the man, you′re the man)


We don't wanna hear no more lies
About how you planned a compromise
We want our dollar value increased
That employment to, to rise
The nation's taxation
Is causin′ all, all of this inflation
Don′t give us no peace sign
Turn around, rob the people blind

Economics is the issue
Do you have a plan wager?
'Cause if you′ve got a master plan
Got to vote for you
You're the man

Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There′s misery in the land
Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land


Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don′t you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There′s misery in the land (woo)

People marching on Washington
Why not hear what they have to say?
Because the tables just might turn against you, brother
Set around Election Day
Politics and hypocrites
Is turning us all into lunatics
Can you take the guns from our sons?
Right all the wrong this administration′s done?

Peace and freedom is the issue, oh
Do you have a plan wager?
'Cause if you′ve got the plan, if you've got the master plan
I got to vote for you, hey, hey, got to vote for you
′Cause you're the man

Vote for you (hey, you′re the man)
Got to vote for you (I got to vote for you)
Got to vote for you, got to vote for you (woo)
Got to vote for you, got to vote for you
Got to vote for you, got to vote for you
Got to vote for you, got to vote for you
