Doesn't it please your heart to know he used to
go where the wild things grow and he's younger than the youngest rolling stone?
And doesn't it please your heart to see he got a post in
the ministry to prove as far as politi cians go
And he was standing
at a party in 1968
Where it beats, I'm waiting, adjusting,
I'm nurturing dreams, I'm running the stage
You know he was a man for our time
This morning, every hour,
if it was allowed
You drowned him young,
and he was a man for our time
He never spared a dime for
you or your kind
When he had made it
Doesn't it thrill you to observe
He makes the change as the fashions work
As a mouldy image maims a
smooth machine
Obie's still my fluttering heart,
they're on stage in the leading part
He's a man who can't sell life
for margar ine
An d now he's shaking hands at charity
concerts with pop stars with love minds
And while the rest of us are
throwing out money
Driving the buses and digging the drains
You know he was a man
for our time
There's one in every
crowd if it was allowed
He drowned them young and
he was a man for our time
He never spared a dime for you or
your kind
He was a man for our time
There's one in every crowd if
it was a lie
He never spared a dime
for you or your kind
When he had made it
all
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
