Suzanne Vega - Men Will Be Men текст песни

Men will be men and theyll call me the governor

Ill walk through the bar and Ill buy the next round

Because this is my ship and I say its my destiny

And well all go up and go down, we go down, go down

Through the town and back up through the avenues

And into the places where people dont stay

Go visit the king and then leave through the window

Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray

Andys a saint or a savage, I forget

Depends on the day and if hes eaten yet

Hes something to see when hes first out of bed

Not that Id know, Ive just heard it said

Said that men will be men and theyll call me the governor

Ill walk through the bar and Ill buy the next round

Because this is my ship and I say its my destiny

And well all go up and go down, we go down, go down

Through the town and back up through the avenues

And into the places where people dont stay

Go visit the king and then leave through the window

Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray

Spiders the guy to handle the gun

Hed show me how, but I dont want one

Hes oh-so polite for a second-story man

And hes changed his spots as much as anyone can

We know men will be men and theyll call me the governor

Ill walk through the bar and Ill buy the next round

Because this my ship and I say its my destiny

And well all go up and go down, we go down, go down

Through the town and back up through the avenues

And into the places where people dont stay

Go visit the king and then leave through the window

Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray

Come and sit with the whores and admire the view

Drink down these beers, I think youve had a few

Yes and dont look at me, Im not selling today

Over the crowd hear the bartender say

Say that men will be men and theyll call me the governor

Ill walk through the bar and Ill buy the next round

Because this is my ship and I say its my destiny

And well all go up and go down, we go down, go down

Through the town and back up through the avenues

And into the places where people dont stay

Go visit the king and then leave through the window

Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray

Men will be men and theyll call me the governor

Ill walk through the bar and Ill buy the next round

Because this is my ship and I say its my destiny

And well all go up and go down, we go down, go down...
