Powerful Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun setting on the street
Your dad told you not to look at me
Down came the fist hard upon your head
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
