On the street they're preaching violence
Mister Man is in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I live the way I do
Ain't it obvious
I'm just a man like you

Mister Man, full of love
Mister Man, full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the street the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good messiah
To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I hate the things you do
Yeah
Ain't it obvious
I'm much more black than blue

Mister Man, full of love
Mister Man, full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

(Mister Man
Mister Man)

On the street they're preaching violence
Mister Man is in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I live the way I do
Ain't it obvious
I'm just a man like you

Mister Man, full of love
Mister Man, full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

Mister Man, full of love
Mister Man, full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man's feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait
Mister Man, full of love
Mister Man, full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man

Culture Club

Culture Club is a New Wave / Pop Band from London England who are known for a string of pop hits during the 1980s. Their second album, Colour By Numbers, sold more than 10 million albums, was ranked the 96th best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone, and contained their most famous song Karma Chameleon.

Formed in 1981 by lead singer Boy George, bassist Mikey Craig, drummer Jon Moss and guitarist Roy Hay, Culture Club was named after the diversity in ethnicity and backgrounds of it’s members. They were soon after signed to Virgin records, but it wouldn’t be until the press realized Boy George’s androgynous style, before Culture Club would take off as pop hit masters.

Culture Club sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and had international success with songs such as “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”, “Time (Clock of the Heart)” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”.
