Biography:
Guitarist best known for his work with Roxy Music, although he also recorded a number of well-regarded albums in the 70s under his own name, with 801 and Quiet Sun. Manzanera continues both to produce and record, with later works incorporating more and more Latin influences (Manzanera's mother is Colombian).

[Verse]
A5 G6sus2/A
You gotta listen now
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
And recognize the circle
A5 G6sus2/A
You gotta listen now
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
Get wise before they lift your eyes
A5 G6sus2/A
You gotta listen now
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
And hold your children closer
A5 G6sus2/A
You gotta listen now
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
Get down or you won't be around
A5 G6sus2/A
Now listen, now now listen
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
Now listen, now now listen
A5 G6sus2/A
Sometimes dawns that day when the man calls for his pay
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
And you gotta go through that, yes you gotta go through that
A5 G6sus2/A
And when you've paid what you owe, you might have to travel slow
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
But you gotta go through that, so you gotta live through that
A5 G6sus2/A
But when the masters of the tame require to repossess your name
Fmaj7/A G6sus2/A
You don't have to go through that, you don't have to live through that

[Verse 1]
A Bm G6
Thunder rolling down out of dried-up skies, every inch of earth crying out for water
Bm G6 G A
Television man spelling out the price, everywhere the sheep creeping the slaughter
Bm A G A
Cold weather coming, people feel the fire
Bm A G
Living on Dead End Street with no desire
[Verse 2]
A Bm G6
Is it any wonder you've got no power, when you pay a thief to keep it for you?
Bm G6 G A
Is it a surprise that your wine is sour, when you let a liar choose the brew he pours you?
Bm A G A
Talk on the wire about force and choice
Bm A G A
It's uncomfortable to raise your voice
Bm A G
Everybody whispering behind their hand, selling their despair to any stronger man
A Bm A G Gmaj7 G6
Don't have to listen now
[Bridge]
D/E Bm/A
We taught ourselves to trust our heads

D/E Bm/A
If fifty-five million hearts can't feel it
D6 Am7
We'll never know where

A Bm G6
Polish up your silver and hide your gold, send the lookout man down to every corner
Bm G6 G A
Gather in the place where it's bought and sold, next to where you once used to be a learner
Bm A G A
Cold weather coming, people feel the fire
Bm A G
Living on Dead End Street with no desire
A Bm A G A
You gotta listen now.
