Time to turn an ear to the middle man There's another lesson to be learned He who laughs the last is the better man A man needs his soul when he's getting burned I was made to feel like a sinner man Left without a home to do or die Only half a chance to begin again A man wants to be alone when he needs to cry The first will be the last, the week will be strong Does anybody know who is right and who is wrong? I gave it all I had, I tried to understand Pushed it all away, with a sweep from my hand Now it's time to turn an ear to the middle man I feel, it's time to run to the middle man There's another heartache on its way He who takes it all, is the better man A man needs to step aside when he's in the way Now it's time to turn to the middle man There's another lesson to be learned He who laughs the last is the better man (Time to turn an ear) To the middle man
