Power Company |
| My daddy worked a lifetime, yeah |
| For the Power Company |
| Turning night into day, yeah |
| Yeah, for the Power Company |
| You know that he can still recall when the company was God |
| Man was a slave |
| Throughout a war-torn strife |
| My daddy held his lit electric light |
| Power Company |
| They told him: 'join the union, lad, or we’ll kick you in the ass' |
| Power Company |
| I grew up with these words printed on my back |
| Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free? |
| I worked like a dog all day on the production line |
| This factory is a jail, every day of your life you know |
| You’re doing time |
| Now I got a little car |
| And I can’t afford the gas |
| The house is cold and draughty |
| And the kids grow up too fast |
| I walk around, no future, no past |
| Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free? |
| How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery |
| My old man gets up each morning |
| And he goes to work each day at the Power Company |
| Yeah, he still does his little job and it isn’t very hard |
| A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew |
| And the bosses at the top |
| They never seem to stop |
| Power Company |
| And we’re singin' |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free? |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦Power Company |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh¦when will you be free? |
| Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? |
| (Power Company) |
| Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? |
| (Power Company) |
| Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company) |
| You ask yourself a truth that you’ll find out (Power Company) |
| And you’ll never be free (from the Power Company) |
| Yeah, move your head (Power Company) |
| Move your soul |
