Have you heard the news that's going around here
Bb majorBb     AbAb      Bb majorBb
The man in charge has got to go

Bb majorBb           AbAb          Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Cause he dances 'round the problem ,boy
Bb majorBb     AbAb      Bb majorBb
and the problem is the man in charge, you know.

Now no one knows what i'm talkin' bout
it's a con in the old mans game

The man in charge, he don't know what he's doin'
he don't know the world has changed

Bb majorBb   AB
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb AbAb
Now seems to be so far up
Bb majorBb     AbAb         Bb majorBb
The man on the street ain't got a clue

Bb majorBb     AbAb     Eb MajorEb    AbAb  Bb majorBb
The hard top cats runnin' your life
Bb majorBb              AbAb   Bb majorBb
Thinks the problem is uh, me and you

> piano solo

Born in a time that has gone by
the old tell the young what to do

Have you heard the news that's going around
The problem is the man in charge of you (repeat)

> guitar solo

The problem it seems to me so far up
The man on the street ain't got a clue

The high top cats runnin' your life
Thinks the problem is, me and you

> another guitar solo

Have you heard the news that's a goin round here
The man in charge has to leave
The man in charge has to go..
The man in charge got to go..
