[length: 03:57]
[00:20.38]One day he’ll walk from out of this place.
[00:25.38]You’ll see a quiet determination on his face.
[00:30.35]He’ll toe no lines. Suffer no fools.
[00:35.45]But he’ll raise three cheers to the losing team
[00:39.57]From the other school.
[00:42.61]A little dedication. A little pair of daddy’s shoes to fill.
[00:50.56]Compleat education. One day he’ll be a man of principle.
[00:56.61]And the battle’s on. And he’ll play to win.
[01:01.64]Feel the blue blood rushing quick beneath his skin.
[01:06.65]And grim they stand. And hard they fall.
[01:12.65]Harder still, when their backs are up against the wall.
[01:18.65]Gonna get your attention. But he’s carrying his cross
[01:22.62]To the other hill.
[01:26.62]With divine intervention, he can be a man of principle.
[01:53.25]In the evening light, with a fair-ground girl–
[01:58.23]He stops himself as his head begins to whirl.
[02:04.23]And he walks her home. And there’s a kiss goodbye.
[02:09.21]She feels a chill as she looks him in the eye.
[02:15.19]Well, there’s a time and a place now
[02:18.22]And it’s not tonight she’ll bend his will.
[02:23.25]Slow realization–she’s looking at a man of principle.
[02:51.43]Hung from the highest station by his old school tie–
[02:55.36]Undressed to kill
[02:59.41]He could be a real sensation. But he’s a man of principle
