The Problem - JJ Cale

Have you heard the news that’s going 'round here

The man in charge has got to go

Cause he dances 'round the problem, boy

And the problem is the man in charge you know

Now, the young knows what I’m talking 'bout

It’s a con in the old man’s game

The man in charge, he don’t know what he’s doing

He don’t know the world has changed

Power seems to be so far up

The man on the street ain’t got a clue

The high top cats running your life

Think the problem is me and you

Born in a time that has gone by

The old tell the young what to do

Have you heard the news that’s going 'round here

The problem is the man in charge of you

The problem is the man in charge of you

Power seems to be so far up

The man on the street ain’t got a clue

The high top cats running your life

Think the problem is me and you

Have you heard the news that’s going 'round here

The man in charge has to go

The man in charge has got to go

The man in charge has to go
