THE POWERS THAT BE
(Chris Hludzik)

CHORUS:
Everybody's got their money
Everybody's got their guns
Fat cats keep gettin' fatter
And the poor dogs have to run
From the powers that be...
Because they are not to be

You can't be richer than the first man
You can't be poorer than the last
You can't be slower than an old man
Who's nearly ran his last
Somewhere in a golden tower
The fat cat takes his rest
While you're in the street strugglin'
Just to keep up with the rest

CHORUS:

Neatly-sawed ladder footsteps
Snap as you try to climb
Hanging onto every moment
Trying not to get left behind
Airwaves are gettin' crowded
Keeps gettin' harder to get to you
But try to hear what I've got to say
Hold together and you'll pull through

CHORUS:

Everyone's got a price tag
Everyone's for sale
Everyone wants to be the chief
But just who's gonna hail
To the powers that be...
Because they are not to be
To the powers that be...
'Cause we are not to be.
