The Man - Eels

Look in the mirror, I am The Man

Mrs. Miller says I am The Man

Ask the birds singin', I am The Man

Everyone is a fan

A little walk through the neighborhood

People nod 'cause it’s understood

Mr. Henry comes out to stand

A wave and shout-out to The Man

Ask the birds singin', I am The Man

By popular demand

The little skinhead with the tattooed face

Shows me a moment of style and grace

The old hippie with the tie-dye headband

Flashes a peace sign to The Man

Ask the birds singin', I am The Man

Well, I do what I can

The angry redneck in his pickup truck

Tips his hat and gives the thumbs-up

The New Age guy with the yoga mat

Blesses me with a pat on the back

The longhaired indie rock kid in a band

Looks through his hair and shakes my hand

The old homeless guy who smells like pee

Stops talking nonsense and says «Morning, E»

Ask the birds singin', I am The Man

It’s all part of the plan

The thug rapper with the gold and chains

Puts in his grill and says «Good day»

The politician going door to door

Says «No vote means more to me than yours»

Ask the birds singin', I am The Man

You know I’d win if I ran
