Lyrics to Reasonable Man

I went in search of a reasonable man

The one I'd read about in books, and I drew me up a plan

Said I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can

Then we could take either road, depending upon where we stand

I went in search of a reasonable man



And I thought oh, it must be lonely, to be the only

Voice of reason

The sky once so rosy, now I hear a rumbling sound



In silence drinking coffee, for a reasonable time

He said ‘you're looking pretty' and I said ‘you're looking at your prime

Contender for the future…will you be mine?'

But his straight-laced face, it all folded up

Took that ‘it's not so simple' line



And I said ‘oh, it must be lonely, to be the only

Voice of reason. The sky, once so rosy -

Now my world is crumbling down.'



And I said ‘we need more, reasonable man'

And I said ‘you're selling us short, reasonable man'

And I said ‘where's your heart, reasonable man'

‘Cause when the going gets tough, where are you going, reasonable man?'
