lyrics

There Is No Man

Can you hear a voice that's speaking
Like a little man inside,
And you can never please him,
No matter how you've tried?

And if you're thinking someday
That you'll maybe make a choice,
Throw back your head
Lift up your voice and

SING OUT FOR THE MAN!
There is no man!
SING OUT FOR THE MAN!
There is no man!

Does the voice seek to accuse you
Of some special, secret crime
Till you just wish it would shut up,
Time after time?
Time after time?

And sometime when you're thinking
That it's time to make a choice
Throw back your head,
Lift up your voice and

SING OUT FOR THE TIME!
There is no Time!
SING OUT FOR THE TIME!
There is no Time!

Does it seem your life lacks purpose,
Like a strange and pointless Quark,
Traveling toward earth through vacuum,
Moving at the speed of dark?

At times when you are feeling
Some uncertain sense of dread,
Fill up your lungs,
Throw back your head and
SING OUT FOR THE DARK!
There is no dark!
SING OUT FOR THE DARK!
There is no dark!

Do you sometimes choose to argue
With that little voice inside,
Though it helps about as well
As being angry with the tide?

So someday when you know
It's always time to make a choice,
Throw back your head,
Lift up your voice and

SING OUT FOR THE MAN!
There is no man!

SING OUT FOR THE DARK!
There is no dark!

SING OUT FOR THE TIME!
There is no Time!

SING OUT FOR THE MAN!
There is... no... man!
