Man on the Corner is a song by British band Genesis, from their 1981 album, Abacab. Lyrics were written by Phil Collins.
The lyrics describe a man who spends his days on a street corner, shouting at the passerby. However, the lyrics speculate he may also know what he's talking about. Backed by a simple drum machine beat, the song takes a musically dark tone.
The music video used to promote the song features Collins, Banks, and Rutherford, playing on stage together, using different colors to illuminate the band.
