Suzanne Vega - Men Will Be Men Lyrics
Men will be men and theyll call me the governorIll walk through the bar and Ill buy the next roundBecause this is my ship and I say its my destinyAnd well all go up and go down, we go down, go downThrough the town and back up through the avenuesAnd into the places where people dont stayGo visit the king and then leave through the windowGo hang with the gang and get lost in the frayAndys a saint or a savage, I forgetDepends on the day and if hes eaten yetHes something to see when hes first out of bedNot that Id know, Ive just heard it saidSaid that men will be men and theyll call me the governorIll walk through the bar and Ill buy the next roundBecause this is my ship and I say its my destinyAnd well all go up and go down, we go down, go downThrough the town and back up through the avenuesAnd into the places where people dont stayGo visit the king and then leave through the windowGo hang with the gang and get lost in the fraySpiders the guy to handle the gunHed show me how, but I dont want oneHes oh-so polite for a second-story manAnd hes changed his spots as much as anyone canWe know men will be men and theyll call me the governorIll walk through the bar and Ill buy the next roundBecause this my ship and I say its my destinyAnd well all go up and go down, we go down, go downThrough the town and back up through the avenuesAnd into the places where people dont stayGo visit the king and then leave through the windowGo hang with the gang and get lost in the frayCome and sit with the whores and admire the viewDrink down these beers, I think youve had a fewYes and dont look at me, Im not selling todayOver the crowd hear the bartender saySay that men will be men and theyll call me the governorIll walk through the bar and Ill buy the next roundBecause this is my ship and I say its my destinyAnd well all go up and go down, we go down, go downThrough the town and back up through the avenuesAnd into the places where people dont stayGo visit the king and then leave through the windowGo hang with the gang and get lost in the frayMen will be men and theyll call me the governorIll walk through the bar and Ill buy the next roundBecause this is my ship and I say its my destinyAnd well all go up and go down, we go down, go down...(1990-91)
