The Powers that Be



Waters, Roger - The Powers that Be - Текст песни

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

(background : 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

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

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

[Billy:] "Goodnight, Jim."

[Jim:] "Goodnight, Billy."

[Uncle David's Great Dane:] "Woof, woof, woof!"

[Paraquat Kelly:] "Bull heads, three red snapper, one pink snapper

And your Pacific coastal trench hosemonster 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 sledgehammerhead sharks

And what a surprise

Eightyfour 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 mainstreet

But to the rest of the country

It's Sunset Strip

You're listening to KAOS in Los Angeles."
