Governator Lyrics

He's at it again and he's gonna win
Gonna take it for a hell ride anyway
He's on your side, gonna throw you aside
And let the vultures pick apart what's left

Seems like everything was just a fraction of a second from being okay
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
And let the vultures pick apart what's left

I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back

He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television
Watching the world end

He's at it again, he's gonna win
Gonna take it for a joyride anyway
You're standing in line, better make up your mind
And let the bastard pick apart what's left of you

Seems like everything
Was just a fraction of a second being a dream
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
Let the government decide what's left

I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back

He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television
Watching the world end

I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back

Walk around, I see million possibilities
Well, I know
Nowhere to go
And I can't comprehend
Things this real seems, so pretend, I know
I don't know

But I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back

And it makes great television, watching the world end (I'll be back)

I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back

And it makes great television, watching the world end (I'll be back)
I'll be back
