Sanction Man

THE SANCTION MAN

Ain’t gonna send no money
Ain’t gonna buy no oil
I am the ruler of this land
The man who says just what goes on.
The buck stops at my desk
Orders start from my door
I am the sanction man
The man who’s in control.

I can buy you out
I can shut you up
I bring you to your knees if you make me
I can starve your children
Keep the gas from the can
I’m the sanction man.

So if you do what I say
If you tip your hat to me
I’ll be nice to you
And you may be nice to me.
I am the sanction man
The oil embargo
A flow of cash
The food in your belly.

Look at me I’m the sanction man
I can make you laugh
I can make you cry.
Come and watch me on TV
Here I am for all the world to see
I’m the sanction man.

If you can take no more
Of my look and my power
Then switch me off but remember,remember.
Don’t play no tricks on me
‘Cause I’m the man who rules the roost
And I can put you out
If I should so choose

I’m powerful, big, I’m the sanction man
Try and catch me if you can
I am the sanction man, I have a mighty roar
Who’s that knocking at my door?
If you want money, give me your soul
I’m the sanction man, I’m in control,
I’m the sanction man.
