Middleman

(album: How To Make Friends And Influence People - 1994)

You know I couldn't be me, if it wasn't for you,
I feel like shit and look like plastic, but I'll get through,
You know its plain to see what's going to do,
As long as it don't get too drastic then we can't lose.
Don't blame the middleman, come to me,
I'll tell you what I can, all you need,
Cut out the middleman, wait and see...

It was you that told me, the aliens had landed,
And it was you that told me, the end had just begun.

Don't blame the middleman, come to me,
I'll tell you what I can, all you need,
Cut out the middleman, wait and see...

But now we're in this thing together,
You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside,
You said you'd stay with me forever,
Where are you now when I need you as my alibi.

You left me all alone, in my hour of need,
I tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me.

Don't blame the middleman, come to me,
I'll tell you what I can, all you need,
Cut out the middleman, wait and see...
