Van Morrison Western Man Lyrics

Western Man has no plan
Since he became complacent
Stopped believing in himself
Let others steal his rewards
While he was dreaming

While he was dreaming
Others were scheming
Doing deals behind his back
Now Western Man is adrift, and under attack
What happened in between?

Now there's no other bite of the cherry
Unless he's prepared to fight
Start on a new path to freedom
New path to freedom

The horse has bolted from the stables
Lunatics have taken over the farm
Caretakers have taken over the main house
Clan-destine meetings in the forest

Going back to the way it was
Now just seems near impossible
Western Man has no plan
They stole it while, while he was dreaming

Now there's no other bite, no other bite of the cherry Unless he's prepared to fight
Start on a new path to freedom
Horse has bolted from the stables
Lunatics have taken over the farm

Caretakers have taken over the main building
The governors have gone over the wall
Clan-destine meetings in the forest
Not going back, not going back to the way it was

Western Man has no plan
Since he became complacent
Stopped believing in himself
And let others steal his rewards
While he was dreaming

While he was dreaming
While he was dreaming
While he was dreaming
While he was dreaming
While he was dreaming
While he was dreaming
Others were scheming

Scheming while he was dreaming
Others were scheming
While he was dreaming
Others were scheming
While he was dreaming
