Money And Power Lyrics

John Watts 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.
