[Verse 1]
One man to the left
One man to the right
One man in the middle
One man dressed in white
One man in the east
One man from the west
One man in the middle
One man under house arrest
(Step back)
[Bridge]
Get hooked on the power
Got to stay in the game
Be the man of the hour
Got to make a name for yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
And the lady waits, so patiently
She waits for the call
She knows just what you need
[Chorus]
You need inside, information
Information at a very high price
She gives you inside, information
That can change your whole life overnight
In a minute
[Bridge]
One man to the left
One man to the right
One man in the middle
Caught in the broad daylight
[Verse 2]
Just a man on the street
Another face in the crowd
One man on the beat
Wants everything that he's not allowed
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
With a little inside, information
You get money, you get power, you get it all
Yeah but that inside, information
Can leave you waiting for that hammer to fall
(Let it fall)
She gets that inside, information
Information at a very high price
With that inside, information
It's danger with each roll of the dice
You want that inside, information
Take the money, take the power, take it all
Take that inside, information
But get ready because the hammer will fall
It's going to fall
[Bridge]
Inside, information][x2]
[Outro]
Is she telling you straight[x3]
One man to the left

Be the man of the hour
