Power Lyrics

They got us bucking and mucking

And working jerking and hurting

They pulling curtains for certain

And i don't know if it's working

They make us cut at each other

Make use forget that we're brothers

They make us hate and berate

And they make us late for the gate

We've got to seek and believe

We need to love and retrieve

We've got to jump to the front of the line

Now is the time we decline

Let 'em know

Fuck no

This ain't gonna go

Stop stealing and killing

Stop stomping and lying

Give us the power back (I want the power back)

Power!

Don't care what you want from me

I'm living too close to the edge to see

I'm laying down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe I'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seeking power

You wouldn't like me none

If we came across each other in the sun

And I don't think I'd dig you much either

Because I look like you

But I don't talk you

And I ain't nothin like you want in a leader

But I been cutting and scratching

And I been screaming and bleeding

And I don't need you breathing breeding and killing

My brothers sisters and lovers

My fuckin silence it suffers

And I don't even want you saying my name

I've got an end game

Power

Don't care what you want from me

I'm living too close to the edge to see

I'm laying down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe I'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seeking power

Hullabaloo

We gonna do what we wanna do

And what we wanna do

Is not have you

Stomping on our friends mother fucker

Stop it

Stop it!

We'll get the power back

Whether you like it or not

We're seeking power!

Don't care what you want from me

I'm living too close to the edge to see

I'm laying down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe I'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seeking power
