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…
