Powerful Man Lyrics - Painted Shut - Hop Along

Sun's setting on the street 

Your dad told you not 

to look at me 

Down came the fists 

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 

My good friend convinced me to 

turn around 

My good friend said 

"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 too happy to see us 

She didn't look too happy to see us 

"How should I know" she said 

"The man you just described 

Could be anyone."

I just thought he looked like 

A powerful man.
