Government Man

from Portrait of Portraits by Riverdistrict

lyrics

You're a government man you'll state your name
You're a government man you'll face no blame

When demons call
You will fall
You'll be redefined as a man

You're a government man you'll state your case
Please government man don't hide your face

When demons call
You will fall
You'll be redefined as a man

Government man you'll be all right this time
Government man you'll be fine
Didn't we think you wouldn't last a day
I hope you find your way

Government man you'll be alright this time
Government man you'll be fine
Didn't we think you wouldn't last a day
I hope you find your way

You're the type of man that the people never see
You're the type that they breed so carefully
But I will see you when you are on your knees
You're the man we all wanted to be
