I wish I were a light-hearted man If only for the weekend I need to let go of the burden Society and The Man I'd rather be six feet deep Than have my mind in the sand Oh, I can't stand the burden of man I need to be a working man No longer searching the fields They say I should let go of the muse Be normal and refuse I'd rather be six feet deep Than let go of her hand Oh, I can't stand the burden of man Bury me now I can't survive In the world they've created Society makes no one free It's all mind pollution But still my mind cannot breathe Without the money in my hand Oh, I can't stand the burden of man Oh, I can't stand the burden of man Oh, the burden of man Oh, the burden of man Oh, the burden of man Oh, the burden of man
