One Man's Burden - Nitzer Ebb

Come on real nice not a word

Come on with arms open wide

It’s okay when it’s on TV

When it’s like the pictures in a book

It’s okay when it’s on TV but it’s you and me

Caught up in history

Caught the look that I just can’t see

Something is after me

Better run I really better run

Round and round, over and over

Do my duty by her call return

I tried once and that was that

Now she knows I can’t go back

Back to beginning over and over

Then she heard me say

Been away and now I’m back

How’s my credit?

Said, «My credit’s fine»

What will it be?

One man’s burden playing on my mind

One man’s burden got me just in time

One man’s burden playing on my mind

One man’s burden got me just in time

Round and round, over and over

She says I did it just to please myself

They think I did it just to be myself

Less talk, what to talk about

Less think, what to think about

Okay, well, it’s not okay

Straighten up, you got to straighten up

Tell it straight, you got to tell it straight, come on

One man’s burden playing on my mind

One man’s burden got me just in time

One man’s burden playing on my mind

One man’s burden got me just in time

Round and round, over and over

Round and round, over and over

Round and round, over and over
