Текст песни Drew Sarich - The Statesman

You haven’t been a model citizen
You’ve got some checkers on your past
I’ve seen some outstanding warrants for
The loves you left behind
When you thought it wouldn’t last
You wanna hear me pledge allegiance to you
You wanna question my command
There’s some things you oughta know
About this not so average Joe
Before you go and make demands

You’re standing in the presence of a
Statesman, honey
Take a long, hard look at what you see
I’m a captain of the guard
With a battered purple heart
You ain’t never gonna take away
Never gonna take away from me

You ain’t never gonna take away from me

The prowess of a predator
Immune to any pain
I’ve been fooled, I’ve been schooled
I’ve been wounded, now it’s cool
All your flexing is in vain
You got your finger on the trigger, girl
Sharpen up your aim
I can kiss, I can kill, I can detonate at will
If you continue with your games

You’re standing in the presence of a
Statesman, honey
Take a long, hard look at what you see
I’m a captain of the guard
With a battered purple heart
You ain’t never gonna take away
Never gonna take away from me

You ain’t never gonna take away from me

Oh, I’ve gotten older
Shoulders wary of unnecessary load
I can’t carry you much longer
I can’t carry you much longer
But a kiss from your mouth could
Make me stronger
But a kiss from your mouth could
Make me stronger

You’re standing in the presence of a
Statesman, honey
Take a long, hard look at what you see
I’m a captain of the guard
With a battered purple heart
You ain’t never gonna take away
Never gonna take away from me

You ain’t never gonna take away from me
You ain’t never gonna take away from me
You ain’t never gonna take away from me
