I’ve been labeled as an angry young man
Because I don’t fit into the master plan
Under society’s microscope
I look funny but it’s no joke
I’m a social end product so don’t blame me
I’m a social end product of society
It’s not my fault that I don’t belong
It’s the world around me that’s gone all wrong
How did you expect me to turn out?
Did you want me just a little boy scout?
Before you start to criticize me
Take a look and you will see
See see see
I can make your poor heart break cause I am a man
You ain't gonna win cause I am a man
Well don't you forget that I am a man
This little song that I'm singin' about
People you know it's true
If you're black and gotta work for a living
This is what they will say to you
They says if you was white, should be all right
If you was brown, stick around
But as you's black, m-mm brother, git back git back git back
Me and a man was workin' side by side
This is what it meant
They was paying him a dollar an hour
And they was paying me fifty cent
I went to an employment office
Got a number 'n' I got in line
They called everybody's number
But they never did call mine
Love the tune of this song but the lyrics...
