I know a man he's a powerful man
|
He's got the people in his power
|
In the palm of his hand
|
He started at the bottom
|
and he worked his way up Now
|
he's never going to stop
|
Until he reaches the top
|
It's the same old story
|
it's the same old dream
|
It's power man, power man
|
and all that it can bring
|
If you want your money
|
you better stand in the line
|
'Cos you'll only end up
|
picking up nickels and dimes
|
You call him names
|
and he sits and grins
|
'Cos everybody else
|
is just a sucker to him
|
And he's got my money
|
but I've got my faith
|
And powerman, powerman
|
I'll never be your slave
|
It's the same old story
|
it's the same old game
|
It's power man, power man
|
driving me insane
|
<Interlude>
|
People tried to conquer the
|
world Napoleon and Genghis Khan
|
Hitler tried and Mussolini too
|
Powerman don't need to fight
|
powerman don't need no guns
|
Powerman got money on his side
|
<Interlude>
|
Well I'm not rich
|
and I'm not free
|
But I've got my girl
|
and she got me
|
He's got my money
|
and my publishing rights
|
But I've got my girl
|
and I'm alright
|
And she got me going
|
and she keeps me sane
|
But powerman, powerman
|
got money on the brain
|
It's the same old story
|
it's the same old game
|
Powerman, powerman
|
driving me insane
|
