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
|
Another 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 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
|
