Hop Along - Powerful Man Lyrics

Sun setting on the street
Your dad told you not to look at me
Down came the fist hard upon your head

I was the only other adult around
I was the only other adult around
I was 18, you were 8, maybe you were 10

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

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

But she didn't look to happy to see us
She didn't look to happy to see us
"How should I know?", she said
"That man you just described could be anyone"

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

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 [?]
A powerful [?], a powerful [?]
A powerful man
