Mr. Government Man by Europe
Lyrics & Translation
English
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man,
I'm just a poor boy doin' the best that I can
I've been stepped upon and pushed around, yes, I have
You can tie me up, but never tie me down
Well, I was drivin' around, tryin' to find a place
To get a beer and some cigarettes
Pullin' up behind me, not afraid to flirt
There's a girl in a red Corvette
I saw in her face that she wanted to race
So I let my car out of jail
Man, I blew it, before I knew it
The Feds were on my tail
I knew it were trouble, but didn't wanna stop
I couldn't forget that girl
My dashboard slick from alcohol
And my head still in a whirl
Just a country boy in the city lights
Tryin' to have some fun
But the Man behind me didn't wanna play
He pulled out a gun
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...
Well, I had it comin', I hit the wall
And my car went up in flames
My head got hammered, thrown in the slammer
No one but me to blame
That's my story, ain't much glory
But I know I paid my dues
One thing I know in my heart and soul
I ain't never gonna lose
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...
They say I might be goin' crazy
Hey, what else can I do?
Hey, my, my
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man
Don't you push me around no more

Mr. Government Man (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Oye, oye, Sr. Hombre del Gobierno,
Solo soy un chico pobre haciendo lo mejor que puedo
Me han pisoteado y empujado, sí, lo han hecho
Puedes atarme, pero nunca atarme
Bueno, estaba conduciendo, tratando de encontrar un lugar
Para conseguir una cerveza y algunos cigarrillos
Acercándose detrás de mí, sin miedo a coquetear
Hay una chica en un Corvette rojo
Vi en su cara que quería correr
Así que saqué mi coche de la cárcel
Hombre, lo arruiné, antes de darme cuenta
Los federales estaban detrás de mí
Sabía que era un problema, pero no quería parar
No podía olvidar a esa chica
Mi salpicadero resbaladizo por el alcohol
Y mi cabeza todavía dando vueltas
Solo un chico de campo en las luces de la ciudad
Tratando de divertirse
Pero el Hombre detrás de mí no quería jugar
Sacó un arma
Oye, oye, Sr. Hombre del Gobierno...
Bueno, me lo merecía, golpeé la pared
Y mi coche se incendió
Mi cabeza fue golpeada, arrojado a la cárcel
Nadie más que yo para culpar
Esa es mi historia, no hay mucha gloria
Pero sé que pagué mis deudas
Una cosa sé en mi corazón y alma
Nunca voy a perder
Oye, oye, Sr. Hombre del Gobierno...
Dicen que podría estar volviéndome loco
Oye, ¿qué más puedo hacer?
Oye, vaya, vaya
Oye, oye, Sr. Hombre del Gobierno...
Oye, oye, Sr. Hombre del Gobierno
No me empujes más
