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
