Ballad Of A Straw Man
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 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
