I wish I were a light-hearted man
If only for the weekend
I need to let go of the burden
Society and The Man
I'd rather be six feet deep
Than have my mind in the sand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
I need to be a working man
No longer searching the fields
They say I should let go of the muse
Be normal and refuse
I'd rather be six feet deep
Than let go of her hand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
Bury me now I can't survive
In the world they've created
Society makes no one free
It's all mind pollution
But still my mind cannot breathe
Without the money in my hand
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
Oh, I can't stand the burden of man
Oh, the burden of man
Oh, the burden of man
Oh, the burden of man
Oh, the burden of man
