Capital City - Council Emissary Lyrics

I've been council emissary for such a long time
And you think you've got my brethren into your party line
I've been united committee chairman for oh so many days
And you say that you've got my sister into your family way

I know what you're doing, I know what you've got in mind
You think you've got me going - withering on the vine
I've been over on the east side, over on the west
Your people they keep telling me that you are the best

I know what you're doing, I know what you're trying to say
You think you've got me going - out the usual way

Yeah

I've been council emissary for oh so many days
Now take a moment and listen to what I say
I know what you're doing, I know where you're trying to go
You think you've got me running, well, man you don't even know

I know what you're doing, you're trying to bring me down
Well look out, I'm coming now and I still run this town

Yeah
