[Incomprehensible] he cannot be
And nobody has the will to tear it down
(Portait of authority)
And to him it's just a stereotype
It embodies what he cannot be
The portait of authority
(Portait of authority)
Of his life long fight
And it makes us lose our sight
(Portait of authority)
It's the marble statue standing over me
And it haunts him every day
It determines wrong and right
You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be
You're portait of authority
Another time another man
But he can't muster the support
And he lives his life pretend to tear it down
You tell me what I'm supposed to be
And oppressive intrusion and a plague across his land
It tells him he has no chance his hopes just fade away
The portait of authority
(Portait of authority)
But to me its just a stereotype
That which many strive to be
(Portait of authority)
