Last years rivals share their blood Sailor sworn to secrecy Ride the waves and stem the flood The tides of endless enmity Power now is all the rage Sons and daughters of the gun Hungry babies come of age Phasers switched and set to stun Power now, power how, power wow! Here's power If you're seeking power ... Doctor held you tight and torn Boy he was a lucky man Out of you the future born Slight of foot and sight of hand Douse the candle, dim the light Focus not on fire or flame Don't believe that might is right Your soul can turn you just the same Power now, power how, power wow! If you're seeking power - here's power Power now, power how, power wow! If you're seeking power - here's power If you take my breath away The whole damn thing will turn and return Redefined, rearranged, rearranged And till my dying the day I guess I'll have to burn just to learn This the time, this the place To show a human face Dressed to kill we guessed you might Friend or foe or family We'll sacrifice the Virgin white Her death will be the life of me Power now is all the rage Don't excuse it use it well Keep the lion in his cage Free from hunger, free from hell Power now, power how, power wow! If you're seeking power - here's power

Time will swallow Your precious time Like magic create the future What makes man so fickle? Who put the daggers in those eyes? Was it to learn Through dark days of struggle? Was it to burn To burst all our bubbles? Thunder and rain Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister? Thunder and rain Evangelistic brother Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers Till your mind is clean Was it your fate To sleep like a normal? Time and decay No man is immortal Thunder and rain Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame Will it heat stick and blister? Thunder and rain Still try to resist the pessimist The pessimist no no And these things I find In the back of my mind Where time lasts forever I get all mixed Think I'm all mankind Listen Mr Pessimister With your Catholic taste Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister We do not relate Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister Mr Pessimister
