Lyrics:<br /><br />The Man Standing Out There<br /><br />Everything inside was modern and sleek<br />The office worker got mad when he dared to peek<br />The only establishment for him is dim and underlit<br />The ice out there has him feeling frostbit<br />She’s sitting at the controls of the cockpit<br />No amount of money’d ever make her quit<br /><br />What has the man standing out there seen<br />He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean<br />He’s probably seen us at our worst<br />While he’s acting at his absolute best<br /><br />He’s got a shirt that announces his politics<br />He leans over the table of the dude getting his kicks<br />His boss tells him to cover it all up<br />He laughs and takes a swig from the drinking cup<br />He can take more than just a measly write up<br />He’s got nowhere else to go so leans forward again<br /><br />What has the man standing out there seen<br />He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean<br />He’s probably seen us at our worst<br />While he’s acting at his absolute best<br /><br />He wanted to take control of a motorbike<br />I take it off the ramp all suicidal like<br />It was the picture of what he thought was a man<br />In olden times they’d put his head on a spike<br />But these days he rides a scooter childlike<br />To make it day by day he’s doing what he can<br />Which at the moment is just trying to keep up his lifespan<br />Everyone around him just does a quick driveby<br /><br />What has the man standing out there seen<br />He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean<br />He’s probably seen us at our worst<br />While he’s acting at his absolute best<br /><br />Scraping in the king we trust off the coins<br />No one is doing anything properly who joins<br />He dribbles in the dirt and the scales come off<br />Wearing his shoes just like Khruschev <br />All the neighborhood drives by to scoff<br />Doesn’t he have any goals to go accomplish<br /><br />What has the man standing out there seen<br />He’s out there everyday doing nothing mean<br />He’s probably seen us at our worst<br />While he’s acting at his absolute best<br />
