Mister Wilson

 Mister Wilson

 

Hey Mister Wilson all numbers have their sum

And hey Mister Wilson they play the numbers in the slum

A Salvation Army banding piping we shall overcome

Hey Mister Wilson please tell me what have you done

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

A world away you play with digits on the screen

When you don’t see the tears the evil don’t seem so mean

Welfare mothers kicking back with the brothers in the hood

In a black and white world color is misunderstood

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

Ghetto defenders with righteous pretenders romance and dance

Every child in the wild is a victim of circumstance

And Mister Wilson we know you’re a self-made man

But your rich father sure did lend a hand

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise

 

The roaches swarm immune to toxic chemical swarms

Rats larger than cats abuse and refuse to conform

Still the money flows and everybody knows just fine

That in this world of greed the green is bottom line

 

Truth be told Mister Wilson you’re lost as could be

You heart in the frost counting the cost of idolatry

Hell is a fire burning in a rage out of control

You’ve made the upper grade while losing your soul

 

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Life is truth and your truth is lies

Mister Wilson you’re a man on the rise

Mister Wilson you’re the devil in disguise
