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
