You've been talkin', talkin' to the people
Tryin' get them to go your way
Tellin' us, not to worry
Worry, we won't be led astray

So blind, unsignified
Your opponents always lie
Think about the mistakes you make (the mistakes you make)
I believe that America's at stake (America's at stake)

You know busin', busin' is the issue
Ah, do you have a plan with you?
Ooh, if, if you have a plan
Ah-ah-ah-ah, if you've got a master plan
(Got the, got the vote for you, oh)
(Hey, hey, got the vote for you, 'cause)
(You're the man, ooh)

Dee-dee-dee-dee, whoo
Dee-dee-dee-dee

We don't wanna hear no more lies
About how you planned a compromise
We want our dollar value increased
And employment to rise
The nation's taxation
Is causin' all, all this inflation

Don't give us no peace sign
Turn around, rob the people blind
Ah, economics, whoo is the issue
Do you have a plan with you?
'Cause, if you've got a master plan
(Got the vote for you)
You're the man

Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee

Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land

Ooh, people marching on Washington
Wanna hear what they have to say
Because the tables might just turn against you, brother
Said, around election day

Politics and hypocrites
Is turning us all into lunatics
Can you take the guns from our sons?
Right all the wrongs this administration has done?

Peace and freedom is the issue
Oh, do you have a plan with you?
Oh, 'cause, if you've got the plan
If you've got the master plan
I got the vote for you, hey, hey
Got the vote for you, 'cause you're the man

Vote for you, got the vote for you
Got the vote for you, got the vote for you
Got the vote for you, got the vote for you
Got the vote for you, got the vote for you
Got the vote for you, got the vote for you
Got the vote for you, got the vote for you
