The powers that beThey like a tough gameNo rulesSome you win, some you loseCompetition's good for youThey're dying to be freeThey're the powers that beThey like a bomb proof cadillacAir conditioned, gold taps,Back seat gun rack, platinum hub capsThey pick horses for coursesThey're the market forcesNice car JackThey like order, make-up, lime light powerGame shows, rodeos, star wars, TVThey're the powers that beIf you see them come,You better run - runYou better run on homeSisters of mercy better join your brothersPut a stop to the soap opera right nowThey say the toothless get ruthlessYou better run on homeYou better run, runYou better run on homeThe powers that beThey like treats, tricks, carrots and sticksThey like fear and loathing, they like sheep'sclothingAnd blacked-out vansBlacked-out vans, contingency plansThey like death or glory, they love a good storyThey love a good storySisters of mercy better join with your brothersPut a stop to the soap opera stateThey say the toothless get ruthlessRun home before its too lateYou better run - runYou better run on home
