Lou Reed - Strawman

We who have so much to you who have so little
To 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, ah
Does anybody need
another million dollar movie
Does anybody need
another million dollar star
Does anybody need
to be told over and over
Spitting in the wind
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, yes

Does anyone really need
A billion dollar rocket
Does anyone need a $60,000 car
Does anyone need another President
Or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8, and 9, ah
Does anyone need another politician
Caught with his pants down money sticking in his hole
Does anyone need another racist preacher
Spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, wow

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

Does anyone need another faulty shuttle
Blasting off to the Moon, Venus or Mars
Does anyone need
Another self-righteous rock and roll singer
Whose nose he says has led him straight to God
Does anyone need
yet another blank skyscraper
If you're like me
I'm sure a minor miracle
will do
A flaming sword
Or maybe a gold ark
floating up the Hudson
When you spit in the wind
it comes right back at you

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