About

This is about the dreams that Springsteen and his band members had before their ‘big break.’ There’s a little gospel flavour on this Born in the U.S.A. outtake, but the melody is almost too lightweight for the lyrics.

Man at the Top Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here comes a fireman, here comes a cop
Here comes a wrench, here comes a car hop
Been goin' on forever, it ain't ever gonna stop
Everybody wants to be the man at the top

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top now
Aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top

[Verse 2]
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
One thing in common they all got
Everybody wants to be the man at the top, hey

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top now
Aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh alright
Oh yeah
Oh alright
Oh yeah

[Bridge]
Man at the top says it's lonely up there
If it is, man, I don't care
From the big White House to the parking lot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top

[Verse 3]
Here comes a banker, here comes a businessman
Here comes a kid with a guitar in his hand
Dreamin' of his record in the number-one spot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to be the man at the top
Everybody wants to be the man at the top now
Aim your gun, son, and shoot your shot
Everybody wants to be the man at the top, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh alright
Oh yeah (Alright now)
Oh alright (Ah)
Oh yeah (Who's the man at the top?)
Oh alright (Ah)
Oh yeah (Who's the man at the top?)
Oh alright (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah
Oh alright (Mmm hmm)
Oh yeah (Mmm hmm)
Oh alright (Mmm hmm)
Oh yeah (Mmm hmm)
