[Verse 1]
No way, man
You're surrounded by yes men
There's no way, man
I could ever tell them
Hey, successful man
Let's see how well you can
Under a different spotlight
The light of day
See me striding on
Taking every natural human desire
See you sat there alone
Cursing at the fire

[Chorus 1]
Oh you
My wisest of friends
Try loving a man surrounded by yes men
Loving a man surrounded by yes men

[Verse 2]
No way, man
A state depended on yes men
And there's no way, man
You could ever tell them
What's a worthy man?
He gives the best he can
He doesn't bank his favours for rainy days
See him sliding on
On the back of every blood, sweat, and tear
See the headlines he wrote
Playing to our fears
[Chorus 1]
Oh you
My wisest of friends
Try loving a man surrounded by yes men
Loving a man surrounded by yes men

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus 2]
Oh you
My wisest of friends
Try loving a man surrounded by yes men
Oh you
Right honourable friends
He's running around surrounded by yes men (x3)
He is running the world surrounded by yes men (x2)
