Powerman — текст песни (Kinks)

I know a man, hes a powerful man

Hes got the people in his power

In the palm of his hand.

He started at the bottom and he worked his way up

Now hes never going to stop

Until he reaches the top.

Its the same old story, its the same old dream,

Its power man, power man, and all that it can bring.

If you want your money, you better stand in the line

cos youll only end up picking up nickels and dimes.

You call him names and he sits and grins

cos everybody else is just a sucker to him.

And hes got my money, but Ive got my faith

And powerman, powerman, Ill never be your slave.

Its the same old story, its the same old game

Its power man, power man, driving me insane

People tried to conquer the world napoleon and genghis khan

Hitler tried and mussolini too

Powerman dont need to fight, powerman dont need no guns

Powerman got money on his side

Well Im not rich and Im not free

But Ive got my girl and she got me

Hes got my money and my publishing rights

But Ive got my girl and Im alright

And she got me going, and she keeps me sane

But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain

Its the same old story its the same old game

Powerman, powerman driving me insane
