Suzanne Vega - Men Will Be Men lyrics

Men will be men and they'll call me the governor I'll walk through the bar and i'll buy the next round Because this is my ship and i say it's my destiny And we'll 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 don't stay Go visit the king and then leave through the window Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray Andy's a saint or a savage, i forget Depends on the day and if he's eaten yet He's something to see when he's first out of bed Not that i'd know, i've just heard it said Said that men will be men and they'll call me the governor I'll walk through the bar and i'll buy the next round Because this is my ship and i say it's my destiny And we'll 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 don't stay Go visit the king and then leave through the window Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray Spider's the guy to handle the gun He'd show me how, but i don't want one He's oh-so polite for a second-story man And he's changed his spots as much as anyone can We know men will be men and they'll call me the governor I'll walk through the bar and i'll buy the next round Because this my ship and i say it's my destiny And we'll 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 don't 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 who*es and admire the view Drink down these beers, i think you've had a few Yes and don't look at me, i'm not selling today Over the crowd hear the bartender say Say that men will be men and they'll call me the governor I'll walk through the bar and i'll buy the next round Because this is my ship and i say it's my destiny And we'll 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 don't 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 they'll call me the governor I'll walk through the bar and i'll buy the next round Because this is my ship and i say it's my destiny And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down...
