Lyrics

Power


Every time I hear politicians lying
Wonder why you sit clapping your hands
In no time at all you start complaining
But who can you blame in the end
You get your chance to make things much better
But youÂ?re too busy getting yourself used
How often must they pull the same tricks on you
Before you realize theyÂ?re just fooling you

Power
ThatÂ?s all they want
Power
ThatÂ?s what you got

You must be a fool
You must be crazy
If you think what they say
Is what theyÂ?ll do
How can you let them get away with it?
How can you buy it time and time again?
When performance is what
Should really matter to you
You eat up empty promise every campaign

Power
ThatÂ?s what you got
Power
ThatÂ?s all they want
Power
ThatÂ?s what you got
Power
Why donÂ?t you use it?

Oh no!
Oh my God!
Here comes one more election
Now we hear the same old sound bites again
But just like before
YouÂ?ll let it turn you on
Setting yourself up to be used again

Oh-oh
Can you blame them?
No-oh
You let them use you
No-oh
I donÂ?t blame them
No-oh
You let them use you
