lyrics

POWERS THAT BE
(lyrics - Eugenie Matthias)

VERSE 1
Seriously
The powers that be
Are filling your mind with hatred
LOVE
Four letter words
Are going unheard
People wake up don’t take it
LOVE

CHORUS 1
When you feel your power has gone
And you know they’re guiding you wrong
And the energy that you have is waning yeah yeah
Pandemonium on increase
When you see the mark of the beast
And the vultures see you as feast
It’s draining yeah yeah

VERSE 2
Powers that be
Hiposcrisy
Driven by greed and finance
LOVE
Killing your dreams
By any old means
If you are poor
You’ve no chance
LOVE




CHORUS 2
When you feel your power has gone [LOVE]
And you know they’re guiding you wrong [LOVE]
And the energy that you have is waning yeah yeah
Pandemonium on increase [LOVE]
When you see the mark of the beast [LOVE]
And the vultures see you as feast
It’s draining yeah yeah

M8 16 bars aaahhhh

CHORUS 3 X 2
When you feel your power has gone [LOVE]
And you know they’re guiding you wrong [LOVE]
And the energy that you have is waning yeah yeah
Pandemonium on increase [LOVE]
When you see the mark of the beast [LOVE]
And the vultures see you as feast
It’s draining yeah yeah

OUTRO aaahhh
Skips solo 16 bars
