Ezra (/ˈɛzrə/; Hebrew: עזרא, Ezra; fl. 480–440 BC), also called Ezra the Scribe (עזרא הסופר, Ezra ha-Sofer) and Ezra the Priest in the Book of Ezra, was a Jewish scribe and a priest. According to the Hebrew Bible he returned from the Babylonian exile and reintroduced the Torah in Jerusalem (Ezra 7–10 and Neh 8). According to 1 Esdras, a Greek translation of the Book of Ezra still in use in Eastern Orthodoxy, he was also a high priest.
Several traditions have developed over his place of burial. One tradition says that he is buried in al-Uzayr near Basra (Iraq), while another tradition alleges that he is buried in Tadif near Aleppo, in northern Syria.
His name may be an abbreviation of עזריהו Azaryahu, "God-helps". In the Greek Septuagint the name is rendered Ésdrās (Ἔσδρας), from which the Latin name Esdras comes.
The Book of Ezra describes how he led a group of Judean exiles living in Babylon to their home city of Jerusalem (Ezra 8.2-14) where he is said to have enforced observance of the Torah. He was described as exhorting the Israeli people to be sure to follow the Torah Law so as not to intermarry with people of particular different religions (and ethnicities), a set of commandments described in the Pentateuch.
"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 passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
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.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

Well I may love you in the morning
Like today, you'll never know
If I would step this way, I'd find a garden
Like today, you'll never know
Well you may claim that you found me
Like today, you'll never know
Like today, you'll never know
Oh non the less,
I must confess,
That I'm a mess
I've been left to safe you
You're situation must be there
You're situation must be over the creek
and when did we speak
I'm over the creek
And when did we speak
That I kind of left you
I still haven't met you
Well I may fall into your dance
Like today, I'd never know
We may meet with awkward hearts
Like today, I'll never know
Like today, I'll never know
Oh non the less,
I must confess,
That I'm a mess
I've been left
Oh non the less,
I must confess,
I'm a mess
I've been left to safe you
My situation must be there
My situation must be over the creek
And when did we speak
I'm over the creek
And when did we speak
That I kind of left you
I still haven't met you
And if I ever said too much
They'll be my last spoken words
And if I never said enough
They'll be my last spoken words
They'll be my last spoken words
Oh non the less,
I must confess,
That I'm a mess
I've been left
Oh non the less,
I must confess,
That I'm a mess
I've been left to save you
Our situations must be there
Our situations must be over the creek
And when did we speak
I'm over the creek
And when did we speak
That I kind of left you
I still haven't met you
