He smiles when he’s social, safe in his local.
Level with his vocal, the Familiar Man from the bank.
Standing at his station, years of obligation,
Living in frustration, the Familiar Man, from the bank.
He said, “Son, I’m tired of working,
Man, I’m glad you followed your dream.
I hope you don’t mind my way of talking,
I’m just another man in the machine”.
Man in the machine, man in the machine.
Between silence and dry wit, his wife is counterfeit.
But one point she will hit, he’s got a medal from the Queen.
Counting days to his pension, freedom from detention.
Did I fail to mention, he’s got a medal, from the Queen.
He said, “Son, I’m tired of working,
Man, I’m glad you followed your dream.
I hope you don’t mind my way of talking,
I’m just another man in the machine”.
Man in the machine, man in the machine.
Everybody needs a treat now and then,
No matter how old or how young.
She’s a little shy, his bit on the side.
No one knows she’s the one.
Not even their son!
He was something of a joker, I could tell he wasn’t sober.
As he looked me over, he was listening with his eyes.
I said goodbye as planned, and as he shook my hand.
A tear began to land, he was listening, with his eyes.
He said, “Son, I’m tired of working,
Man, I’m glad you followed your dream.
I hope you don’t mind my way of talking,
I’m just another man in the machine”.
Man in the machine, man in the machine.
