Saw a man as described in the 1st verse and a whole story just rolled outta my pen
Lyrics
Greasey fisted blue collar boy
look at him
He's got no life to speak of and nothin
much to loose
He' thinkin all the time he's got these
great ideas
Wries em down in a spiral notebook and
then he goes off to work
He's a simple man
and he really wants to be someone
He's a simple man with great expectations
Better ways to run the world go clicking
in his mind
His beer joint philosophy man he's way
ahead of his time
Elementary rules of life you know the
leaders are all blind
Key to our redemption is for everyone to
be kind
He's a simple man
and he really wants to be someone
He's a simple man with great expectations
Thinks his big ideas are gonna make all
the big boys squirm
Doesn't understand there's a nasty hook
inside every worm
We know he's yeah we all agree
No one will ever hear him as long as he
is stuck down in this factory
Being clever never payed him we
For every act o brilliance he gets
anoather dose of hell
He's young and thinks there's always
hope, I hope som day he'll learn
No matter how long you stand in line you
will never get your turn
He's a simple man
and he really wants to be someone
He's a simple man with great expectations
