There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He sits there waiting for his name to drop
He says, you can name a road after me
Hell, you can even name a rock
But don’t ever never refer to me as the man on the roof top
There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He looks down at everybody like we are just a little drop
He will get very worried soon
Because many drops can make up a river
I just hope the water, I say, rises right up to the roof top
There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He rarely comes down and if he does it's only with guards
He doesn't really know the people
No, only the ones who work on the roof top…
There's a man who sits there
And he makes up wars and rules
He will tell you who your enemy is
If you just turn on the news
There's much to look out for
When you look only up to the roof top
