A Man Needs to be Told by The Charlatans Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A man needs to be told
There is a world going on
There is a world going on
There's a world going on

A man needs to be told
To look into the night
He will get lost in the day
He will get lost in the night

A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
A young boy once told me
I'll be an old man and I'm only fifteen
It wasn't part of the plan
It wasn't part of the dream
Ever wonder how much the man who wrote White Christmas made?
How evolution began
The revolution was fake
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told

A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
A man needs to be told
There is a war going on
There is a war going on
There is a war going on

A man needs to be told
There is a truth in his eye
There is a rest in the dawn
There is a point to his life

A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told
A man needs to be told

[Bridge to fade]
