Is it the pain of the drinkin' Or that semi-sinkin' feelin'? Oh, the car never seems to work When it seats your girlfriend on a date And then you're a waiter in your dream And you seem to seem like you Turn around, ask yourself Turn around, ask yourself Man child, will you ever win? Man child, look at the state you're in Could you go undercover And sell your brand new lover? Could you be someone else for a night? Maybe someone else will love you You sell your soul for a tacky song Sound like the one you hear on the radio Turn around, ask yourself Turn around, ask yourself Man child, will you ever win? Man child, look at the state you're in Man child, it won't make you cry Man child, man child From Monday down to Friday You're workin' on another man's car Or is it in the factory? It doesn't matter where you are Just turn around and ask yourself Is this communication? Accentuate the positive and give some illustration See man child, you know what? You turn the microphone on Control communication when I'm kickin' it And so on to the point that I need The air that I breathe into an audience That's waiting and ecstatic to receive For the meantime, another main rhyme I know what the time is The crowd will keep on playin' it through the speaker boxes Loud's my diagnosis Cause I believe in miracles And words in steady doses Enough of the S, P, E, and C, T Respect yourself, express, no stress The mic is easy, just believe That all you need is the air that you breathe Ask yourself Man child, will you ever win? Man child, look at the state you're in Man child, it won't make you cry Man child Man child Man child Is the apple of your eye? Once bitten, twice shy Why don't you bite me again? Just take it in right and go tell your friend Are you ready for the words? I turn the microphone on A figure of speech to reach you at the back And so on in style I'm simulating dance floors Raise your body temperatures now And it demands more Powers in the amp You know, loud's my diagnosis Cause I believe in miracles Words in heavy doses
