lyrics

The muscle man
He walked in and he beat you
He didn't even try
The money boys
Who were so keen to meet you
They didn’t even wave goodbye

Don’t fade away
Fight another day
Everything seems useless
But everybody loses

You worked so hard
Just to find the venue
You had to pay the fee
While the muscle man
He was studying the menu
He always eats for free

Don’t slip away
Live another day
For your information
A miracle is waiting

The governor
Hosts a banquet for the muscle man
He’s won the peoples’ hearts
The money boys
They’re all banking on the muscle man
He’s a patron of the arts

Don’t fade away
Fight another day
For your information
A miracle is waiting

For your information
A miracle is waiting
For your information
A miracle is waiting
