Intro: A

Verse 1:

A
All through the ages, the wise men and sages
Bm
Have said there are dirty deeds that simply must be done

To keep society going and the benefits flowing
C#m
There's a simple necessity of hurting someone

It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility
D
It's the core of what leadership's really about
A
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
E A
If you've got a problem you must flush it out

Bridge:

E D
But there's no one else with guts enough
E A
To be willing to kick their butts enough
E B7
I'm the only one quite nuts enough
E A
To admit it, they all hid it
E D
But I'm standing right here proud
E A
His head held high, unbowed
E B7
I'll shout it right out loud
E D A
He did it, I did it, he did it

Verse 2:

A Bm
Rock-a-bye, sweet baby, Mama is here
C#m
Hush-a-bye, sweet angel, there's nothing to fear
D
Close you eyes, sweet darling, all through the night
A E A
Mama will hold you safe 'til the morning light

Verse 3: Repeat verse 1 and verse 2 lyrics simultaneously, then:

D A
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
Mama will hold you safe

E A
If you've got a problem you must flush it out
'Til the morning light
