Man make his money and they call him rich

Deep down inside he knows that life's still a bitch

Man tries to keep things but they're taken away

Man has to struggle all the live long day

Man has to sweat and toil his life filled with trouble

Man got to step and fetch it on the double

Man has to work so hard to make it all pay

Man has to struggle all the live long day

Man keeps on moving 'cause he can't keep still

Man has to set his goals and climb up the hill

Man sees the mountains and the deep blue sky

Man has to struggle till the day that he die

Well, yes siree Bob

Them there's the breaks

That's how it is my friend

Don't make no mistake

Man has to take some action all of the time

Man by his nature's never satisfied

Man just can't vegetate no matter what they say

Man has to make it all the live long day

Man has to create karma that's the way that it is

Man has to keep on goin' way beyond his will

Man has to keep on bein' cause there's nothing else to do

And man just always has to go for himself

Take all the gurus when they meditate

Transcend the mundane into some altered state

You just might get there, but you have to pay

Man's got to struggle all the live long day

(Instrumental & harmonica)

Well, yes siree now, Bob

Them there's the breaks

That's how it is my friends

Don't make no mistake

Man has to watch the weather and the food that he eats

Man has to keep fit else he's prone to disease

No matter what he does there's stress ev'ry which-a-way

Man has to struggle all the live long day

Man is in conflict with his natural self

Man has to suppress his own desires and instincts

Man has to work so hard to keep them at bay

Man has to struggle all the live long day

Man was told that he was born in original sin

By people long ago that were connin' him

Man is so out of touch he can't trust himself

But man's still got to win by cunning and stealth

(Instrumental & harmonica to end)
