You Got the Power

Power makes you think the worst remains behind you forevermore Power makes you think you own the key to keep the darkness behind the door Power rears its head inside the folds of a 10-pound note you rolled You've had enough, still you'll take more You need the power, you need the glory Am I a crazed man to say the light's too bright When the mask comes off, and we call it a night? And you wonder why... it never feels right 'Cause you got the power It's there in your hands, I'll have you understand That you got the power It's there in your hands, I'll have you understand (Power!) What you see is what you get, when optics keep the world propped up Power's a red hand, a blue check, stale beer at the bottom of your cup (Power!) All you say to lay claim to the lackeys' basic gaze Well, I'm amazed, mate, you're somehow standing The weight of power can be so demanding Am I a crazed man to say the light's too bright When the sun comes up, and we call it a night? And you wonder why... it never feels right 'Cause you got the power It's there in your hands, I'll have you understand That you got the power It's there in your hands You got the power It's there in your hands, I'll have you understand Yeah, you've got the power It's there in your hands, I'll have you understand
