You're politically correct no matter what you say Convincing us all in every single kind of way Cos you frame the words so that we really believe That there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve So you twist your tongue to make it all sound true Making us believe that we haven't got a clue You tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear With theatrical tactics to boost your career Every promise you make is just a promise you break And you can never admit that you could make a mistake Because you say one thing and you mean something else You only care about yourself and your wealth so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it With your military mind you were born a leader And discipline and order is an everyday procedure So bring out the man in every innocent boy And teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy To protect and to serve and to die with honour and pride You say you're fighting for peace but that's the biggest lie You're preparing for war and your martial law But you don't know what it's for any more so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it Power is a sickness power is to blame Power is a weapon and it's driving me insane Power is an enemy, power is pain Power is a war but to you it's just a game Power is glory, power is gold Power is chaos and you're out of control Power isn't freedom, power is a cage Power is your sin and it feeds my rage Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it
I can't complain I've made myself a name And all I really want is five minutes of fame Some material wealth and a life in good health Cos all I really care about is myself I don't know a single thing about the situation But why should I care about the next generation I've got everything I need but I still want more I can't understand why you complain cos you're poor I don't feel sorry for you we've got the same possibilities It's all about taking your own responsibility I took mine so I deserve what I got I've got my name on the wall of fame I'm going straight to the top It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree And that's the biggest difference between you and me There's not a thing in the world that my money can't buy I can't understand why you didn't even try So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill You can't blame me because you're underfed You should be glad that you've got a roof over your head If you worked for a living you could pay your rent Instead of begging me for help when all you're money's spent You won't ever fool me because I know your type I see you standing on the corner like a parasite You're a loser and you know it but you don't even care I can't understand why you say life ain't fair So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay the bill The next generation has to pay pay the bill Give me one good reason why I shouldn't complain I've done everything I can but it's still the same I've got nothing to lose so why should I give a fuck My life's a piece of shit and that's where I'm stuck I never got a fair chance to even prove myself So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else You say you can't understand why I say life is a bitch I can't understand how you can be so rich So what do you mean we've got the same possibilities I haven't even got your educational abilities I dropped out of school before I took me degree Cos the welfare line made more sense to me I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts And I've come to realize this is as good as it gets I hate my fucking life more than you hate me I just can't understand why this is how it should be So I complain it's still the same We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill So I complain it's still the same We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay, pay the bill
What a scam, you see I'm living in a land Where the present situation is getting out of hand Racist brutality's an everyday reality It doesn't take more than a different nationality Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time To get abused or accused of committing a crime If it's a sign of the time then it's time to change your mind And leave your fucking ignorance way behind So face the facts cos that shit is played out You haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about Because the problem is you and your racist buddies Prejudice right wing small time nobodies What are you afraid of What's your prejudice made of What are you afraid of The only one that's coming with a threat is you So what the fuck are you afraid of It's about true the real problem is you Because you've made up your mind to hate them all Except you say send them all back to where they're coming from But it ain't that fun to be living on the run You wouldn't want to age a gun blow the brains out your head So try to understand the shit they're going through instead Because a woman or a man with a different face colour Is exactly the same as your own sister or brother What are you afraid of What's your prejudice made of What are you afraid of So first we let them in and then you want to throw them out Well I'd really like to know what all this shit is about Is it you are you afraid of what's new Are you afraid of everyone that doesn't look like you It's just a colour and I'm colour blind The only colour I know is the colour of my mind There's only one race and that's the human race And every human being's got the right to feel safe So stop this insanity and take a look around Get a hold of yourself and get your feet on the ground Stop playing around this shit has got to cease In the name of understanding in the name of peace What are you afraid of What's your prejudice made of What are you afraid of
