THE ANIMALS

THE ANIMALS - POWER COMPANY lyrics

rate me

My daddy worked a lifetime, yeah

For the Power Company

Turning night into day, yeah

Yeah, for the Power Company

You know that he can still recall when the company was God,

Man was a slave

Throughout a war-torn strife,

My daddy held his lit electric light.

Power Company

They told him: 'join the union, lad, or we'll kick you in the ass'.

Power Company

I grew up with these words printed on my back

Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohPower Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohwhen will you be free?

I worked like a dog all day on the production line

This factory is a jail, every day of your life you know

You're doing time

Now I got a little car

And I can't afford the gas

The house is cold and draughty

And the kids grow up too fast

I walk around, no future, no past

Power Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohPower Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohwhen will you be free?

How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery

My old man gets up each morning

And he goes to work each day at the Power Company

Yeah, he still does his little job and it isn't very hard

A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew

And the bosses at the top

They never seem to stop

Power Company

And we're singin'

Whoa, oh, oh, ohPower Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohwhen will you be free?

Whoa, oh, oh, ohPower Company

Whoa, oh, oh, ohwhen will you be free?

Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? (Power Company)

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? (Power Company)

Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company)

You ask yourself a truth that you'll find out (Power Company)

And you'll never be free (from the Power Company)

Yeah, move your head (Power Company)

Move your soul

(Burdon, Carter, Gartig, Kravetz, Noya, Passmann)
