Halleluiah Man Lyrics

On the blind side and down the back ways

Break all the rules I'm the King of fools
I'm the renegade in this greytown
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
I am the Halleluiah Man
Yes my friends I've been born again
I'm the black sheep who while shepherds sleep
Will do anything to bring a government down
They said watch out boy be careful where you tread

He slept outside until the world opened up
They've got to understand he's a Halleluiah Man
He says I am the Halleluiah Man
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
He built himself a prison
He knew he had to escape
Some worlds are held together by steel
Some worlds are held together by sellotape
He was d
