I AM A MAN

Lyrics

These hands have been bruised My soul's been misused All my life I been paying the dues We take the garbage off the streets But is that all you think of me? What you should see, when you look at me Is I am a man My feet, are worn and tired We've been working overtime Yes we have And we unionize but When Jim don't pay me right Sleepless nights I just can't get no peace I am a man So we march in your streets I am a man We refuse to clean I am a man Up in the land of the free I am I am I can't get no peace I am a man So we march in your streets I am a man We refuse to clean I am a man In the land of the free I am I am Let me break it down to you like this No I can't change my skin But you can change your heart I'm not invisible We're all the same under God We're the same under God We live, we work in danger every day I don't know how much more I can take See I, and you can't, we can't, they can't Things can't remain the same! I am a man I am a man And I'm doing all I can I am a man I am I am I can't get no peace I am a man That's why we're marching In your streets right now I am a man We refuse to clean I am a man In the land of the free I am I am I am a man I am a man I am
