Lyrics Can’t Swim – Power

Power to all the people
Rise on up to stop the evil
Heard it once now here’s the sequel
We must fight to stop the evil power

Look into your brother’s eyes
The man in the street who’s terrorized
Day in day out by the civilized
Because we can’t admit the lies of power
P-p-p-power, p-p-p-power, p-p-p-power

Molotov’s and bricks and rocks
Baseball bats kalashnikovs
Knives and ropes and riot shields
Razor wire and mortar shells
When this is what your power brings
These are a few of my favourite things

Listen to your sister’s screams
Force fed by your American dreams
The politicians scam and scheme
Destroy the system by the seams with power
P-p-p-power, p-p-p-power, p-p-p-power

Fight the lies that breed injustice
Fight the lies no hero saved us
Fight to live the words you practice
Fight to give the people back power
P-p-p-power, p-p-p-power, p-p-p-power

28 years the evil power still remains
