Halleluiah Man

On the blind side and down the back ways

The roots of sadness crawl

When you can't get what you need

You feel like takin' a torch to it all

All the sweet talk make a bitter man

You can feel the darkness rise

Sometimes you don't know what you're fightin' for

You don't know who it is you despise

I am the Halleluiah Man

Break all the rules I'm the king of fools

I'm the renegade in this grey town

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

Yes my friends, I've been born again

I'm the black sheep who while the shepherds sleep

Will do anything to bring a government down

In a coat of a thousand colors

And a star spangled Cadillac

He picked up a rodeo queen

With whiplash marks all over his back

When dreams don't become their people

People become their dreams

He didn't understand at the time

But now he knows exactly what it means

I am the Halleluiah Man

Break all the rules I'm the king of fools

I'm the renegade in this grey town

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

Yes my friends, I've been born again

I'm the black sheep who while the shepherds sleep

Will do anything to bring a government down

They said watch out boy be careful where you tread

You're throwing away all that beautiful bread

He slept outside until the world opened up

They've got to understand he's a Halleluiah Man

He says I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

He built himself a prison

He knew he had to escape

Some worlds are held together by steel

Some are held together by cello tape

He was drifting through the shark's teeth

He always paid his dues

When something told him he had nothing

That's when he knew he had nothing to lose

He says I am the Halleluiah Man

Break all the rules I'm the king of fools

I'm the renegade in this greytown

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

Yes my friends, I've been born again

I'm the black sheep who while the shepherds sleep

Will do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

Break all the rules I'm the king of fools

I'm the renegade in this grey town

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

Yes my friends, I've been born again

I'm the black sheep who while the shepherds sleep

Will do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

I am the Halleluiah Man

And I'll do anything to bring a government down

When dreams don't become their people

People become their dreams

When dreams don't become their people

When dreams don't become their people

People become their dreams

When dreams don't become their people

You've got to bring a government down
