Power

You're politically correct no matter what you say

Convincing us all in every single kind of way

Cos you frame the words so that we really believe

That there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve

So you twist your tongue to make it all sound true

Making us believe that we haven't got a clue

You tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear

With theatrical tactics to boost your career

Every promise you make is just a promise you break

And you can never admit that you could make a mistake

Because you say one thing and you mean something else

You only care about yourself and your wealth so all I say is

Power to the one who doesn't want it

Power to the one who doesn't want it

Power to the one who doesn't want it

Power to the one who doesn't want it

Do you want it why do you want it

With your military mind you were born a leader

And discipline and order is an everyday procedure

So bring out the man in every innocent boy

And teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy

To protect and to serve and to die with honour and pride

You say you're fighting for peace but that's the biggest lie

You're preparing for war and your martial law

But you don't know what it's for any more so all I say is

Chorus

Power is a sickness power is to blame

Power is a weapon and it's driving me insane

Power is an enemy, power is pain

Power is a war but to you it's just a game

Power is glory, power is gold

Power is chaos and you're out of control

Power isn't freedom, power is a cage

Power is your sin and it feeds my rage

Chorus
