"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."
Fear of Men is a Brighton-based band that formed in early 2011. On February 12, 2013 the band released a reverse chronological compilation of their early singles through Kanine Records called Early Fragments. The band released their debut album Loom on April 21, 2014 (UK) and April 22, 2014 (U.S.) also through Kanine Records. A limited edition Record Store Day Vinyl was released on April 19, 2014.
Fear of Men came together in early 2011 after Jessica Weiss and Daniel Falvey met. For her art degree, Weiss had been creating soundtracks for her short films and she met Falvey at one the exhibitions for her films. Falvey, a guitarist and a fellow art student, liked her recordings and they started working together to create a more pop sound. They teamed up and made several lo-fi demos in the hopes of attracting other players for the band. Quickly thereafter, Alex Fynn O'Neill and Michael Miles joined on bass and drums, respectively. Weiss became the lead vocalist and also played the guitar. Soon after their formation, they released a cassette that was well-received and began to perform at gigs as a support group. Over the course of the following two years, they released several 7" records on small DIY labels like Sex Is Disgusting and Italian Beach Babes. They continued to work on their music to create their crooning indie pop sound. In early 2013, Kanine Records released a compilation of their early singles called Early Fragments. During this time, some bandmembers had relocated and there were some shifts in line up leaving original members Weiss, Falvey and Miles as a trio. They worked on their debut LP Loom, which was released in late April 2014 to critical acclaim from blogs like Pitchfork and mentions from Stereogum. They preceded to go on tour in North America and Europe supporting The Pains of Being Pure At Heart.

Walk me out by the water's edge
Oh, my brother
I'm coming down
We are you
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
But here we are under moonlight
Words...cannot describe
Walk me out in the morning sun
Oh, sweet momma
I'm coming down
We are young
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
And I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
Here we are under moonlight
Words cannot describe
It's clear to me
You're like
The oceans and the light
Try and you'll remember what you used to be
It's clear to me this day will take you for a ride
A place that you once longed to be
And there it is...
I don't know who was right
Or what they saw in you that night
Here we are under the moonlight
Words...cannot describe
Walk me out
By the water's edge
Oh, my brother
I'm coming down
We were young
We are almost there
And the man keeps coming 'round
