Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they´ll take your liberties
Then tie them ´round your hand

Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you´ll find
Their words are your command

Well the bloodsucker society, is looking for recruits
I took a sip of their sobriety, it doesn´t taste that good

Well at first you´re fine with working overtime
10 years go by til you´re caught up in the grind
And can´t escape the fact your youth is fading fast
These times won´t last and once they´re gone they don´t come back

Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they´ll take your liberties
Then tie them ´round your hand
Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you´ll find
Their words are your command

They try to fill you with anxiety, until you bite the hook
They drop a line of notoriety, they got a big chequebook

Oh they´ll turn you blind for a nickel and a dime
Don´t waste your time with their simple frame of mind

You can´t escape the fact your youth is fading fast
These times won´t last and once they´re gone they don´t come back

Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they´ll take your liberties
Then tie them ´round your hand
Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you´ll find
Their words are your command

Attention all personnel!
Stand single file, resistance is futile!

We´re gonna raise your hopes up
Just to knock them down
You got a bright bright future
If you can shut your mouth
And if you work the front lines
To keep us safe and sound
You won´t be compensated
Until you´re in the ground
So don´t waste a single breath
On what society expects
If history don´t lie
They´re gonna take you for a ride until you die!

Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
At first they´ll take your liberties
Then tie them ´round your hand

Man Alive!
Don´t stand aside!
While people make demands
When time goes by some day you´ll find
Their words are your command
