And I`ll do anything to bring a government down

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
