Desperate Measures - Some Day They Will Thank Me Lyrics

2017 Off-Broadway
Desperate Measures the Musical - Some Day They Will Thank Me Lyrics

Song was written by David Friedman & Peter Kellogg.

GOVERNOR:
Does it hurt me when the papers call me strict?
Like I’ve been kicked.
Does it rankle when they label me severe?
It rankles here.

It’s a trial to be so misunderstood.
Can’t they see I’m acting soley for their good?

Someday they will thank me.
Someday they will thank me.
Those bleeding hearts who criticize me now.
They will learn to see in time
We must punish every crime
And they will make it up to me somehow.

Someday they will thank me.
Someday they will thank me.
We owe our peace of mind to you,
They’ll say.
Then they’ll shower accolades
Every year at my parades
On von richterhenkenpflichtgetruber day.

Do I mind it when they whisper I’m unkind?
Oh ja, I mind.
Does it vex me when I’m called a martinet?
Ach ja, you bet.
It’s a pity that so many lives are lost,
But security and safety have a cost.

Someday they will thank me.
Someday they will thank me.

For rooting out the riff-raff everywhere.
And to show our common bonds,
......
