Standard (EADGBE)
Intro 2x
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 a talkin' 'bout
it's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge he don't, know what he's doin'
He don't know, the world has changed
The power seems to be, so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats, runnin' your life
Thinks the problem is uh, me and you
(piano solo)
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
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you
(guitar solo)
The power seems to be, so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue
The high top cats, runnin' your life
Thinks the problem is, me and you
Have you heard the news, that's a goin' 'round here
The man in charge has to go
The man in charge has got to go
The man in charge got to go
