Use the Man Lyrics


I heard somebody fixed today, there was no last goodbyes to say

His will to live ran out, I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left, a list of plans and photographs

Songs that never will be sung, these are the things he won’t get done, the things he won’t get done

I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use the man)

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the gutter on their hands)

The fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)

I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use the man)

Just one shot to say goodbye

One last taste to mourn and cry, cry, cry

Scores and shoots, the lights go dim

Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders why, why the monkey only lies, lies, lies

But pay the pauper, he did choose

He hung his head inside the noose

He hung his head inside the noose oh

I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use that man)

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the coffin on their hands)

They fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)

I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle in his hand)

Cryptic writing on the wall (The beginning of the end)

I’ve seen myself use the needle (Seen the needle in my hand)

I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use that man)

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the coffin on their hands)

They fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)

I’ve seen myself use the needle (Seen the needle in my hand)

In my hand

In my hand

In my hand!
