The Ballad of the Little Man

"He was doing fine in '39

Thank God he did not win

He kept playing on his fiddle

As he watched old Rome cave in

He sold love away from his children's hearts

And told them it was sin

Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy

Of that little man within

Now he's sitting in the gardens

As the acid rain comes in

He got it covered full of rhino heads

And boots of leopard skin

He got the means, he make the harvest high

But you can count those hungry people die

We're all at the mercy

Of the greedy man within

So if you're feeling lonely, baby

If you're feeling blue

If you listen to your little friend

You know he'll tell you what to do

But if you hear his words and you get confused

Start believing they're all true

Then you have just been fooled again

Who said we won't get fooled again?

By the little man within"
