Kinks - Powerman Lyrics
I know a man, hes a powerful manHes got the people in his powerIn the palm of his hand.He started at the bottom and he worked his way upNow hes never going to stopUntil he reaches the top.Its the same old story, its the same old dream,Its power man, power man, and all that it can bring.If you want your money, you better stand in the linecos youll only end up picking up nickels and dimes.You call him names and he sits and grinscos everybody else is just a sucker to him.And hes got my money, but Ive got my faithAnd powerman, powerman, Ill never be your slave.Its the same old story, its the same old gameIts power man, power man, driving me insanePeople tried to conquer the world napoleon and genghis khanHitler tried and mussolini tooPowerman dont need to fight, powerman dont need no gunsPowerman got money on his sideWell Im not rich and Im not freeBut Ive got my girl and she got meHes got my money and my publishing rightsBut Ive got my girl and Im alrightAnd she got me going, and she keeps me saneBut powerman, powerman, got money on the brainIts the same old story its the same old gamePowerman, powerman driving me insane
