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
