[Verse 1]
I don't even know why I bother with the cinema
I never feel amused, I always end up fine
I can not park my car in the busy parts of town
I always get caught out and end up feeling dumb

[Chorus]
Maybe the man is right
Even though he's seen all that can be
And during the night
He climbs into the future

[Verse 2]
He can see the tunnels falling down on us
He embraces death when we ride in the bus
I can see a bastard in a cowboy hat
He wants us all to prove that we can pay things back

[Chorus]
Maybe the man is right
Even though he's seen all that can be
And during the night
He climbs into the future

[Bridge]
I usually do it in the front of my house, oh yeah
But I think I'd like some more of your wife, it might fall back
I don't even know why I fight all these authorities
[Chorus]
Maybe the mayor is right
I take my tax and go build something nice
Build what you'd like
You're the ones in charge of the future
And I put my trust in you to get things right
