The Manipulators - Manuel Lyrics

Manuel I know you came so far just searching for the dream
Manuel now you know it's not as simple as it seems
You've come such a long way just to stack up for your family
But now you're getting older and your kids don't know their daddy
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream
Manuel the boss demanding sixty hours of your week
Manuel you wear it on your battered hands and blistered feet
You work so hard you forgot just what it's for
Now the people that you love they don't know you anymore
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream

Can't you see this is not how it's supposed to be
You got some cash but you're a stranger to your family
These lands got you swimming in an emptiness

Manuel they love to put your skilled hands to the test
Manuel they keep you here not helping you with the language
For all you give man they never give it back
The appreciations none and they never cut you slack
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream t
Manuel now waking up is harder than you think
Now you're too old to work and you're too far from your home
So you sit there feeling empty and you're drinking all alone
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream

Can't you see this is not how it's supposed to be
You got some cash but you're a stranger to your family
These lands got you swimming in an emptiness

Manuel, Manuel, Manuel, Manuel
