"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."

Genres: ,Today will be different, that day is gone
Little change in the weather
Break through the sun
The darker the night
The brighter you burn
And when it comes, you will know
The weight will fall from your bones
It's coming
Soon, soon
It's coming
Soon, soon
For once in your life
It's gonna be alright
It's coming
Won't ever tire, won't let you crack
I've taken the pressure, won't stop pushing back
Don't know where you are
But know where you're from
And when it comes, let it go
Don't waste your time breaking code
It's coming
Soon, soon
It's coming
Soon, soon
For once in your life
It's gonna be alright
Whatever keeps you alive
Don't question why
Oh no no
We can't give up
And we can't get in
The signs of the rhythm
Getting under your skin
The love that falls
Between the cracks
Is broken but we'll get it back
Soon
It's coming
Soon, soon
It's coming
Soon, soon
For once in your life
It's gonna be alright
Whatever keeps you alive
Don't question why
Now I understand
Now I understand
Stop looking for a rainy day
