about

Written by the great Stevie Wonder for his InnerVisions album in 1973 about then-president Richard Nixon. Recently heard it and thought it could've easily been written today about a certain recent American president. Opening line - "He's the man, with a plan, got a counterfeit dollar in his hand...."

lyrics

Misstra Know-It-All
Stevie Wonder

He's a man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Playin' hard, talkin' fast
Makin' sure that he won't be the last
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Makes a deal with a smile
Knowin' all the time that his lie's a mile
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Must be seen there's no doubt
He's the coolest one with the biggest mouth
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Bridge
When you tell him he's livin' fast
He will say, "What do you know?"
If you had my kind of cash
You'd have more than one place to go, ooh

Any place he will play
His only concern is how much you'll pay
He's Misstra Know-It-All

If he shakes on a bet
He's the kind of dude that won't pay his debt, oh
He's Misstra Know-It-All

bridge
When you say that he's livin' wrong
He'll tell you he knows he's livin' right
And you'd be a stronger man
If you took Misstra Know-It-All's advice, ooh, ooh

He's the man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Take my word, please beware
Of a man that just don't give a care, no
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Outro
Say, he's Misstra Know-It-All
Take your hat off to the man who's got the plan, yeah
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Every boy take your hand out
To the man that's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
That you know he's got the plan, hey, hey, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
If we had less of him
Don't you know we'd have a better land
He's Misstra Know-It-All
