He’s Everywhere
B. Erickson 2012
I came up by the old back stair, and he was there
I went to sit in my favorite chair, and he was there
I slept in the cemetery for a dare
I went to the doctor for repair
And he was there, oh, he was there
I crept to my secret fishing hole, and he was there
I dug down deeper than a mole, and he was there
I bought a ticket to the cold North Pole
Well I saw something there that chilled my soul
‘Cause he was there, yeah, he was there
Chorus
Can’t miss him with that shock of hair
So I have to say, though it don’t seem fair
He’s everywhere, he’s everywhere,
He’s everywhere, he’s everywhere
In the hobo jungle, right by the fire, he was there
When the votes were counted by the liar, he was there
Where the bankers couldn’t get much higher
And on the battleground, crawling through barbed wire
He was there, oh he was there
On May Day I went to the parade, and he was there
So I fled the heat to find some shade, and he was there
When the police made their midnight raid
I could see his hand in the whole charade
For he was there, yeah, he was there
Chorus
Had to get away, had to hop the bus, and he was there
Got off in Indianapolis, and he was there
In the library where they told me “shush”
I looked up the word “ubiquitous”
And he was there, he was there
At the gladiator’s final roar, he was there
At the gates of hell he holds the door, oh he was there
At dawn there’s footprints in the dew,
Who made them? I can tell you who
He was there, yeah, he was there
Chorus
