Bilingual
All through the ages
The wise men and sages
Have said there are dirty deeds
That simply must be done
To keep society going
And the benefits flowing
There's a simple necessity
Of hurting someone
It means strength and agility
Taking responsibility
It's the core of what leadership's really about
When the red blood starts coming
Just think of it as plumbing
If you've got a problem, you must flush it out
But there's no one else
With guts enough
To be willing to kick
Their butts enough
I'm the only one
Quite nuts enough
To admit it
They all hit it
But I'm standing right here proud
His head held high, unbowed
I'll shout it right out loud
He did it
I did it
He did it

Rock-a-bye, sweet baby
Mama is here
Hush-a-bye, sweet angel
There's nothing to fear
Close your eyes, sweet darling
All through the night
Mama will hold you safe
Till the morning light

All through the ages
The wise men and sages
Have said there are dirty deeds
That simply must be done
To keep society going
And the benefits flowing
There's a simple necessity
Of hurting someone
It means strength and agility
Taking responsibility
It's the core of what leadership's really about
When the red blood starts coming
Just think of it as plumbing
If you've got a problem, you must flush it out
When the red blood starts coming
Just think of it as plumbing
If you've got a problem, you must flush it out
