Men will be men


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...

(1990-91)
