Another day has come and gone
In the city, yeah
Somebody tryin' to stop me from livin' my life
Free and easy

Snow gets stormy on Monday, hey, baby
A month of Tuesdays super bad
Save my soul on Sunday
I found the best love I ever had
Well, it's too bad

Just a man on a string
(Just a man on a string)
A revelation
(Just a man on a string)
Don't try to run my life
(Just a man on a string)

Another trick before my eyes
You sure could be a magician, yeah
Many people saving their lives
The master politician

Don't wait or run in the country, oh, well
That's a funny kind of day
Yes it is, yes it is
Got no job and no money
Is this the way you play the game
It's a doggone shame
Just a man on a string
(Just a man on a string)
Face the nation
(Just a man on a string)
See what's on your mind
(Just a man on a string)
Mass relation

(Just a man on a string)
Are you on the line, yeah
(Just a man on a string)
I can't get no information
(Just a man on a string)
I better search and I better survive
Yeah, yeah
(Just a man on a string)
For the people, saving their lives
Just a man on a string
