The Power 

It's all wrong
Disgraceful and hypnotizing
It's what the power do to you

Don't think twice
Forget all your compromising
It's what the power do to you

It's what the mother says when she's waiting
For her boy to come home
Forget all the TV says about what we defend
He's still mama's only son

It's all wrong
Without apologizing
It's what the power do to you

Don't look back
Wipe out your humanizing
It's what the power do to you

It's what the doctor says when he's bleeding
From the wounds he can't cure
Forget about fearlessness, how we need to die trying
Till it's knocking at your door

It's all wrong
Starving the belly-aching
It's what the power do to you

Don't start now
To care for the lives you've taken
It's what the power do to you
Yes you...
