"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.

You only do gasses this time around
You only do vapours this time around
Too much to worry about on your own
Kidbug filling and spilling your foam
Crass is the fact you bite your arm
Falling over cutting my eye
See your face it's magnified
Kidbug, Man of the Mansion
You got the place but you ain't got the action
You start to burn more with every person
This time around
You're sick of staring at the ceiling
This time around
Too much to figure out without clues
Kidbug everybody's out except you
Everytime you raise the alarm
Can't believe it's doing you harm
I think it's over with the test tubes
I'm coming around
I think it's over, it's the best for you
