“The Powers That Be” (Waters)
“The Powers That Be” (Waters)
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
They like a tough game,
No rules,
Some you win, some you lose.
Competition's good for you.
They're dying to be free,
They're the powers that be.
They like a bomb proof Cadillac,
Air conditioned, gold taps,
Back seat gun rack, platinum hub caps.
They pick horses for courses,
They're the market forces.
“Nice car Jack”.
They like order, make-up, lime light power,
Game shows, rodeos, star wars, TV.
They're the powers that be.
If you see them come,
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
Sisters of mercy better join your brothers,
Put a stop to the soap opera right now.
They say the toothless get ruthless,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be
They like treats, tricks, carrots and sticks,
They like fear and loathing, they like sheep's clothing.
And blacked-out vans.
Blacked-out vans, contingency plans,
They like death or glory, they love a good story,
They love a good story.
Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers,
Put a stop to the soap opera state.
They say the toothless get ruthless,
Run home before its too late.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run on home.
You better run - run,
You better run.
(Billy): "Goodnight, Jim".
(Jim): "Goodnight, Billy".
“ Woof, woof, woof!”
(Paraquat Kelly): "Bull heads, three red snapper, one pink snapper and your pacific coastal trench horse monster fish".
(Cynthia Fox): "Ohhh! At Sky David's juke joint of joy reports, forty under the console giggle stick ling cod, twenty-three purple perches four sledge hammerhead sharks, and what a surprise, eighty-four crabs, and no red snappers".
(Paraquat Kelly): "Hey, and that'll do for the triumphant return of the fish report with a beat".
(Jim): "We think of it as Main Street, but to the rest of the country it's Sunset Strip. You're listening to KAOS in Los Angeles".
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
The powers that be.
