lyrics

In the room walks a Man, made of stone, burning hand
Hungry for blood, his only goal he vows to cut yer head
What he wears, how he bears his soul he’s dressed to kill
The groove to crush and destroy, DETERMINED he’s possessed

Every once in awhile a Man comes around to swap the deck of cards
To shock the world, to claim the crown, to turn yer head around
And his job ain’t done til his voice is heard,
his message clear, spreading the werd
He’s come to dig the dirt, yer grave presents yer judgement day
What you gotta understand the most,
is the story behind the clothes…..
THE CLOTHES THAT MAKES THE MAN

Lights go down, curtains raised, the crowd anticipates
Electric pulse now fills the room , the fire circulates
Shows begun, time has come, no turning back around
The stage is what he calls his home, a platform for the war

Every once in awhile a Man comes around to swap the deck of cards
To shock the world, to claim the crown, to turn yer head around
And his job ain’t done til his voice is heard,
his message clear, spreading the werd
He’s come to dig the dirt, yer grave presents yer judgement day
What you gotta understand the most,
is the story behind the clothes…..
THE CLOTHES THAT MAKES THE MAN

(GTR SOLO)

Out the door walks the Man on the top where he stands
Now everybody follows suit, he’s dubbed “the people’s champ”
Underdog beat the odds, he came and burned the lot
The Man, The Myth, The Legend, he fights 1 more round
What you gotta understand the most, is the story behind
THE CLOTHES THAT MAKES THE MAN
