Saturday 9 April 2005 Perry
Wrote the lyrics for The Smoking Man. I know how the music should go; I can hear it in my head. I should never have sold my Les Paul! Will have to meet up with MS to write and record music when I get time. We had fun last time working together on the Elvisesq songs for my short film ‘King of Kommunication’ that is still in production limbo.
The Smoking Man
Lyrics – Perry Stevens
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
No gun to my head
Money in my hand
I sell contradiction
To feed your addiction
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
Rebellion is confusion
Freedom is illusion
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
And I can’t change the world
But I can change the world in me
And I gotta let you know
Gotta show corporate hypocrisy
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
No gun to my head
Money in my hand
I don’t want to be held to blame
When the world goes up in flames
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
Millions dead or live in pain
This hell on earth is so insane
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
And I can’t change the world
But I can change the world in me
And I gotta let you know
Gotta show corporate hypocrisy
We live and we die
By the choices we make
To stand aside or hide
From the truth would be a mistake
(and I gotta let you know)
No sex, no colour
No race, no creed
Killing your customers
Is greed, greed, greed
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
No gun to my head
Money in my hand
Blackened lungs or amputee
Death releases us from misery
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the smoking man
Nicotine delivery is the business
Y’all burn in hell with God as your witness
