about
This song follows the story of a press conference in which a well-intentioned politician is set upon by an angry crowd and suffers a bean-spilling breakdown.
lyrics
All I did, I did it for you
Time after time
And all I gave, I gave it all to you.
I gave you my best intentions
For one last try
But second chances never came too soon.
And if I saw you in the street
You'd move and redirect your feet
And if you ever saw me fall
Would you do anything at all
But still the hardest thing to do
Is to present myself to you
Perhaps the hardest to believe
You ever meant something to me!
Don't stake your words on reason
Blame it on the times
I'm turning 64 and I still can't retire.
What would you do if I was in your shoes
And your neck was on the line
Would you soldier on and tell me all was fine.
And if I saw you in the street
You'd move and redirect your feet
And if you ever saw me fall
Would you do anything at all
But still the hardest thing to do
Is to present myself to you
Perhaps the hardest to believe
You ever meant something to me!
