One Mans Burden Songtext
von Nitzer Ebb

Come on real nice not a word
Come on with arms open wide
It′s okay when it's on TV
When it′s like the pictures in a book
It's okay when it's on TV but it′s you and me

Caught up in history
Caught the look that I just can′t see
Something is after me
Better run I really better run
Round and round, over and over

Do my duty by her call return
I tried once and that was that
Now she knows I can't go back
Back to beginning over and over

Then she heard me say
Been away and now I′m back
How's my credit? Said, "My credit′s fine"
What will it be?


One man's burden playing on my mind
One man′s burden got me just in time
One man's burden playing on my mind
One man's burden got me just in time
Round and round, over and over

She says I did it just to please myself
They think I did it just to be myself
Less talk, what to talk about
Less think, what to think about

Okay, well, it′s not okay
Straighten up, you got to straighten up
Tell it straight, you got to tell it straight, come on

One man′s burden playing on my mind
One man's burden got me just in time
One man′s burden playing on my mind
One man's burden got me just in time
Round and round, over and over
Round and round, over and over
Round and round, over and over
