Gino Vannelli - POWERFUL PEOPLE lyrics

rate me

Look at the powerful people

Stealing the sun from the day

Wish I could do something about it

When all I can do is pray

It's a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And Sunday when there's time

I think of these things on my mind

And I don't know

Where I will go

Look at the ominous people

Draining the salt from the sea

Wish I could just stand up and shout it

Why can't they let goodness be

Oh it's a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And some day when there's time

I think of these things on my mind

And I don't know

Where I will go

Come on you world won't you give a damn

Turn on some lights and see this garbage can

Time is the essence if we plan to stay

Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home

Wish I could just stand up and shout it

Why can't they let goodness be

Oh it's a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And Sunday when there's time

I think of these things on my mind

Oh and Monday there's no time

So I close both my eyes and I'm blind

And I don't care where oh where is my prayer
