Powerful Man Lyrics
Sun setting on the street
Your dad told you not to look at me
Down came the fist hard upon your head
I was the only other adult around
I was the only other adult around
I was 18, you were 8, maybe you were 10
CHORUS
He said she's not gonna help you
He said she's not
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
My good friend convinced me to turn around
My good friend says, 'I think I saw a light on'
We walked through the dead halls
Looking for teachers and we found one
But she didn't look too happy to see us
She didn't look too happy to see us
"How should I know?", she said
"That man you just described could be anyone"
CHORUS
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful man
Your dad told you not to look at me
Down came the fist hard upon your head
I was the only other adult around
I was 18, you were 8, maybe you were 10
He said she's not
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
My good friend says, 'I think I saw a light on'
We walked through the dead halls
Looking for teachers and we found one
She didn't look too happy to see us
"How should I know?", she said
"That man you just described could be anyone"
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful man
I just thought he looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful
Looked like a powerful man
