Standard (EADGBE)

Intro 2x

Have you heard the news, that's going 'round here

The man in charge has got to go

Cause he dances 'round, the problem, boy

and the problem is the man in charge, you know

Now the young knows what, I'm a talkin' 'bout

it's a con in the old man's game

The man in charge he don't, know what he's doin'

He don't know, the world has changed

 The power seems to be, so far up

The man on the street ain't got a clue

The high top cats, runnin' your life

Thinks the problem is uh, me and you

(piano solo)

Born in a time, that has gone by

The old tell the young what to do

Have you heard the news, that's going 'round

The problem is the man in charge of you

The problem is the man in charge of you

(guitar solo)

 The power seems to be, so far up

The man on the street ain't got a clue

The high top cats, runnin' your life

Thinks the problem is, me and you

Have you heard the news, that's a goin' 'round here

The man in charge has to go

The man in charge has got to go

The man in charge got to go
