Lou Reed – Strawman Lyrics

Rock

This a song called strawman
One, two
One, two, three, four

We who have so much and you who have so little
And you who don't have anything at all
We who have so much more than any one man does need
And you who don't have anything at all

Does anybody really need a million dollar movie?
Does anybody really need another million dollar star?
Does anybody really need to be told over and over
When you Spit in the wind it comes back at you twice as hard

Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman

Does anybody really need a billion dollar rocket?
Anyone who need a 60,000 dollars car?
Does anybody really need another president?
Or the sins of Swaggart six, seven, eight and nine?

Does anybody really need another politician
Caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole?
Does anybody really need another racist preacher?
When you Spit in the wind comes back at you twice as hard

Strawman, oh baby going to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman

Does anybody really need another faulty shuttle
Blasting off to the moon, Venus or Mars?
Does anybody really need another rock and roll singer
Whose nose he said has led him straight to God?

Does anybody really need another blank skyscraper?
Hey, If you're like me a minor miracle will do
A flaming sword or gold ark floating up the Hudson
When you spit in the wind it comes right back at you

Strawman, going to the devil baby
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman

Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
