Lyrics

Power Without Greed

Not yours to handle
Not yours to hold
Too much for just one man
Trying to take control
Tried to resist it
Couldn't stand the breach
Now you're drunk on the power
You're dying to unleash

Everybody
Knows what we need
We got to have the power
Power without greed
Yes, this is what we need
Power, power, power
Without greed

Not many can touch it
They hold it high
Too many corrupted
God knows we all know why
Got what you wanted
Don't get what we need
You got us clean as a water
Your own family tree

Everybody
Knows what we need
We got to have the power
Power without greed
Yes, this is what we need
Power, power, power
Without greed

Not yours to handle
Not yours to hold
Too much for just one man
Trying to take control
Tried to resist it
Couldn't stand the breach
Now you're drunk on the power
You're dying to unleash

Everybody
Knows what we need
We got to have the power
Power without greed
Yes, this is what we need
Power, power, power
Without greed
