He's stronger by talk than by sight
But by sight he'll know you
You buy him a ride he'll know you
Somebody's bound to lead you
Sooner or later you're bound to goYou don't even know what this man feels like
And he doesn't care, doesn't care if you think you know
Somebody's bound to lead you
If that man got a smile on his face
Sooner or later you're bound to go
Bound to goLet me tell you bout a man I knew
He roamed the depth and the breadth of China
On a horse that he grew himself
From the bark of a tree on mainland China
And he had a time, yeah he had the time of his life in China
He carried strife and harmony to all the people on the mainland, yes he didAnd there was a warlord who rode the murky depths of China
With a shotgun in his hand, and he wondered where the people had gone to
Have you got the time to listen while I sing this song
I had the time to listen to the man go right and wrong and right through ChinaAnd it ain't what you want, it's what you need
No it ain't what you want, it's what you need
And I'd rather be here than yesterday
It ain't what you want, it's what you needAnd there was a lady she rolled around in town in China
And there was a lady she rolled and rolled
And she killed a war, she made the warlord rise in time
She sat him down, took him down, and she laid him out for just one more roundDrunk in a beautiful garden celebration
Here comes the Khan, storm the palace, look for Alice
Rising Oriental girl diving back for just one more pearlAnd it ain't what she wants, it's what she needs
She don't want your sound, she wants your country
And I'd rather be next year than on the way to Bombay
Oh, it ain't what you want, it's what you need
