The Man In You Lyrics & Chords By Faithless

Although I don't really know how to handle ya
I will have nobody kickin' no sand in ya face
Not even a trace of bland in ya
Teenage and it's a trouble understandin' ya

You got plenty of energy and stamina
Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in ya
There's a bit the "Don't give a damn" in ya, huh
And that's your old man in ya

Stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya
And on the day people say what they can't stand in ya
Don't let your ego get out of hand on ya
It ain't a good look when crook-kharma land on ya

Balance yourself, bring out the Zinedine Zidane in ya
The "I will" and "I can" in ya
Execute the grand plan in ya
I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in ya

Might know too much but I'm no soft touch
Brought you up to recognise lies an' such
I need no crutch, childhood was arduous
And if there is a God, I'm sure He would pardon us
Must be workin' hard in us, not to harden us

"Did you know that one light year is nine hundred fifty million billion kilometres?
And that the nearest galaxy is two and a half million of those light years away?
Isn’t that amazing?"

Ten, and you really wanna be
Twenty, exactly what you sees on telly
Eleven, you can't tell him any
Thing that he don't know already
Twelve, they get together steady
Explore the first, keeping up with the many
Thirteen, none of them are ready
Livin' on oat, raised broke, not a penny
Fourteen, baby in the belly
Seed sown, we're gonna run, another no daddy
Fifteen, ... she loves it dearly
Head-strong, provin' all're wrong but weary
Sixteen, scary but quite contrary
This is how the garden grows
This is how the garden grows

Children, you still own the power
To turn this into your finest hour
Now, a young war monger at stake
Can make a contribution why don't we wait and see

Give back the mothers their dignity
And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
This society need to learn empathy

It happened to you
It could happen to me

Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seeds, feed and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
