Money And Power
THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE TAKEN A HEAVY TOLL.
I SPIT TWICE AND STARE AT THE PORCELAIN BOWL.
I WAS WOKEN UP THIS MORNING BY THE RADIO ALARM
AND FOUND THAT I HAD LOST THE CIRCULATION IN MY ARM.
THE NEIGHBOURS' GIRLS PLAY CHOPSTICKS THROUGH THE WALL.
NO CHANCE WHAT CHANCE HAVE I?
TO CHANGE THINGS WHY SHOULD I TRY?
IT'S DANGEROUS IT'S TURNING S0UR.
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER.
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER.
A DEMONSTRATION A QUARTER OF A MILLION STRONG.
I RUB MY EYES I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE.
I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR I THINK I'VE GOT A CHILL
I'LL GO DOWN TO THE SURGERY NOT FEELING VERY WELL.
THE NATIONAL NEWS STILL MANAGED TO PLAY IT DOWN.
NO CHANCE
I HEAR THE DOOR AND REACH OUT TO FIND A TOWEL
I HAVE TO GO THERE'S NOBODY ELSE AROUND.
I STAND THERE IN THE DOORWAY I KNOW I DON'T LOOK GOOD
IT'S ONLY MEN DELIVERING ANOTHER LOAD OF WOOD
OUR LEADER STILL WANTS BLOOD IN HER FINEST HOUR.
NO CHANCE
WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER.
What does this song mean to you?
