The Middle Man

Always yes, of course I can

Carry the weight

And take the strain

I’m the middle man

The middle man

Give to me, if you need to unload

It’s never been said

Or written in code

To the middle man

The middle man

If the load is heavy

Bending you down

I can take the strain

And break the chain

It’s water off a duck’s back

To the middle man

The middle man

When you’re the one who knows what to do

If it falls to you to get it right

Well we should work together, try to find

A better way, to share the load

Well we should work together, try to find

A better way, to share the load

If the load is heavy, bending you down

I can take the strain and break the chain

It’s water off a duck’s back

For the middle man, the middle man

The middle man, the middle man
