The Power's Out |
| From the town of Detroit where my job is secure, yeah |
| Secure in the fact now that it’s gone for good, yeah |
| So I’ll scrimp and I’ll scrape at this pension I saved |
| So it should be gone by the end of the day |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Is there no luck in sight? |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Hope it’s just for the night |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Anothe kick in the head |
| I’m so poor at this living I’d be richer off… |
| Wrap me up in your silver then roll me in gold, yeah |
| Then ice up this whiskey 'til it’s nice and cold, yeah |
| Forgive me for dreaming it’s all I have left |
| Except this pending foreclosure and mountains of debt |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Well there’s fuck all to see |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Like this economy |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Guess it’s par for the course |
| Unless you’re a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO |
| So I guess the good lord has forgotten about me |
| And me like himself my old trade’s carpentry |
| I could build him a cross with one hand behind back |
| And the other three nails 'case he gives me the sack |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| The poor dog has left home |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Couldn’t 'ford him a bone |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| It’s the trickle effect |
| Today it’s just me but tomorrow ye rest |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power… |
| So don’t spend your taxes on men on the moon, yeah |
| We’ve been there before and we left pretty soon, yeah |
| The grass will be greener one day I expect |
| When the earth will catch fire then replenish itself |
| From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop, yeah |
| We don’t want your pity we just want a job, yeah |
| There’s no shame in us asking with some self-respect |
| But don’t leave it much longer; |
| we’re human at best |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Well there’s fuck all to see |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Like this economy |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Guess it’s par for the course |
| Unless you’re a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO, CEO, CEO |
| The CEO must go |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Yeah the power’s out |
| Power’s out, the power’s out |
| From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop |
| From the town of Detroit where my job is secure |
| 'Cause the power’s out |
