The powers that be
They like a tough game
No rules
Some you win, some you lose
Competitions good for you
Theyre dying to be free
Theyre 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
Theyre the market forces
Nice car Jack
They like order, make-up, lime light power
Game shows, rodeos, star wars, TV
Theyre 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 sheeps
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
