about

The man of the people - Arthur meets a politician, he appears to have the solution, but it appears he only cares for his vote – Arthur realizes he will have make his own headway.

lyrics

The man of the people will always let you down
the man of the people, he may come to your town
He'll get in the way, he'll knock on your door
when he's got enough, you won't see him anymore

the man of the people is never all he seems
the man of the people will tell you what you need
the man of the people will say you're a friend indeed
when the going gets tough, and you look around
he's not where you've seen him, he's gone to ground
the man of the people is never what he seems

he tells you what you need him for
he will tell you everything you need
telling a lie as a half baked truth
saying I am everything you see
the man of the people is gonna bring you down

the man of the people is indifferent to your fate
the man of the people won't give, but he will take
then, he'll make out he's like me & you
it won't take too long to find he's a stranger to the truth
the man of the people is never all he seems
but, he's the man of the people
