Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

I'm not a happy guy 
But I'm not always sad 
And I'm no millionaire 
But I don't do so bad 

But no matter who you think you are 
There's always someone with a different view 
There's always someone thinks he's got a right 
To say what's good for you 

So how do you know 
That the man in the street don't care 
And why don't you care 
When the man in the street don't know 

Anyway 
I'm not a clever guy 
But I'm sure not that dumb 
Don't have the inside news 

But I know what goes on 
And if you put your faith in God above 
Or if you watch the skies for Superman 
There's always times when you can see the answers 

Slip right through their hands 
So how do you know 
That the man in the street don't care 
And why don't you care 

When the man in the street don't know 
Anyway 
So no matter who they think they are 
As they tell you who to fight or how to dance 

Why don't you give yourself a break 
And give us all a chance 
'Cause how do you know 
That the man in the street don't care 

And why don't you care 
When the man in the street don't know
