Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they'll take your liberties
Then tie them 'round your hand
Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command


Well the bloodsucker society, is looking for recruits
I took a sip of their sobriety, it doesn't taste that good


Well at first you're fine with working overtime
10 years go by 'til you're caught up in the grind
And can't escape the fact (Man alive!) your youth is fading fast (Man alive!)
These times won't last (Man alive!) and once they're gone they don't come back


Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they'll take your liberties
Then tie them 'round your hand
Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command


They try to fill you with anxiety, until you bite the hook
They drop a line of notoriety, they got a big check book


Oh they'll turn you blind (Man alive!) for a nickel and a dime (Man alive!)
Don't waste your time (Man alive!) with their simple frame of mind
You can't escape the fact (Man alive!) your youth is fading fast (Man alive!)
These times won't last (Man alive!) and once they're gone they don't come back


Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they'll take your liberties
Then tie them 'round your hand
Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command


Attention all personnel!
Stand single file, resistance is futile!
We're gonna raise your hopes up (raise your hopes up)
Just to knock them down (knock them down)
You got a bright bright future (bright bright future)
If you can shut your mouth (shut your mouth)
And if you work the front line (lwork the front lines)
To keep us safe and (safe and sound)
You won't be compensated (compensated)
Until you're in the ground (in the ground)
So don't waste a single breath
On what society expects
If history don't lie
They're gonna take you for a ride until you die!


Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they'll take your liberties
Then tie them 'round your hand
Man Alive!
Don't stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command
When time goes by some day you'll find
Their words are your command
