[Part I: Money And Corruption]

[Sung by Chorus]

[Verse 1]
We are sick and tired of being promised this and that
We work all day, we sweat and we slave, to keep the wealthy fat
They fill our heads with promises, and bamboozle us with facts
Then they put on false sincerity, then they laugh behind our backs

[Chorus]
Money and corruption are ruining the land
Crooked politicians betray the working man
They're pocketing the profits, and treating us like sheep
We're tired of hearing promises we know they'll never keep
Money and corruption are ruining the land
Crooked politicians betray the working man
Pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep
We're tired of hearing promises we know they'll never keep

[Interlude]
Promises, promises, all we get are promises
Show us a man who'll understand us, guide us, and lead us

[Verse 2]
We are sick and tired of having to ask them, cap in hand
We crawled on the floor, we begged for more, but still, we are ignored
We're tired of being herded like a mindless flock of sheep
And we're tired of hearing promises, that we know they'll never keep

[Chorus]
Money and corruption are ruining the land
Crooked politicians betray the working man
Pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep
We're tired of hearing promises we know they'll never keep

[Bridge]
We've got to stand together, every woman, every man
Because money and corruption are ruining the land
Show us a man who'll be our Saviour and who will lead us
Show us a man
Workers of the nation, unite
Workers of the nation, unite

[Part II: I Am Your Man]

[Sung by Mr. Black]

[Verse 3]
I visualise a day when people will be free
And we'll be living in a new society
No class distinction, no slums or poverty
I have a vision of a new society
And every home will have a stereo and TV
A deep freeze, quadrasonic, and a washing machine
So workers of the nation, unite

[Chorus]
I am your man
I'll work out a five-year plan
So vote for me, brothers
And I will save this land

[Verse 4]
And we will nationalise the wealthy companies
And all the directors will be answerable to me
There'll be no shirking of responsibilities
So people of the nation, unite
Union Man, I'll work with you hand-in-hand
For we're all brothers to our Union Man

[Chorus]
I am your man
Oh God, how I love this land
So join together
Save the Fatherland

[Outro]
I visualize a day when people will be free
And we'll be living in a new society
No class distinction, no slums or poverty
So workers of the nation, unite
Workers of the nation, unite
People of the nation, unite
