[Verse 1]

Well, it's a change in the ocean, change in the sea

Woke up one morning was a change in me

I put on my pants, my pants fell down

Well, I put on my shoes and they fell off too

I looked in the mirror was nothin' to see

That's how it goes when you're a shrinking man like me

[Chorus 1]

Worried man with a worried song

Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long

[Verse 2]

Well, sometimes I worry 'bout clothes, shrinking man's gotta look good sometime

Don't need no sweatshop child puttin' shoes on my feet this time

Chained to a sewing machine, down in hell where the sun don't shine

Look as good as you can, but please don't rob your fellow man

[Refrain 2]

Shrinking man, shrinking man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I worry 'bout food 'cause a shrinking man's got to eat right sometime

I don't need much and I don't pay no starvation wage

To poor folks out on the poison ground, you don't rob the land

When you're just a little old shrinking man

[Chorus 3]

Shrinking man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man

Worried man with a worried song

Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long

[Verse 4]

Sometimes I worry 'bout prayer 'cause a shrinking man better be a prayin' man

Once I had a dream that was working, I had good ideas, I made big plans

Now I'm just like a leaf in the wind that's blowing, I hope King Jesus can understand

[Chorus 3]

Shrinking man, shrinking man

Nobody was worried 'bout a shrinking man

Worried man, a worried song

Shrinking man ain't gonna be here long
