His Suit Is Empty

User avatar


Looking over the folks he's thrown under his wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
Seventy-eight he was seventeen and playing ball one-on-one
I don't know what he's running from, He's just running on.

Running on - His suit is empty
Leading us - from behind
Running on - nothing that he's done
But he's leading behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your hope alive
Trying hard to confuse them with BS you shuck and jive
In Eighty-one he was twenty-one and he called your wealth his own
I know now where that road turned onto the road he's on

Running on - His suit is empty
Leading us - from behind
Running on - nothing that he's done
But he's leading behind

Everyone he knows, everywhere he goes
People need some reason to believe
They don't see anything in him
If it takes all night, rather fly a kite
But I bet you will smile when he leaves

Looking out at the road rushing under his wheels
He can't begin to tell you without teleprompter feed reels
He looks around for the friends that he used to turn to but he's run through
They've seen his lies and know they've been run over too

Running on - His suit is empty
Leading us - from behind
Running on - nothing that he's done
But he's leading behind

La Raza really tempts him
To act alone with plans in mind
He'd loves to hang around with Martha's Vineyard crowds
You know we don't even know change we're hoping to find
We won't get ahead until we leave him behind
