Steppenwolf - Power Play Lyrics
Words and Music by John KayWhat gives you the right hey youTo stand there and tell me what to doTell me who gave you the powerTo stop me from livin' like I doRemember if you plan to stayThose who give can take awayDon't bite the hand that feeds youJust one time I'd like to be somewhere whereNone of your clever lies fill the airI'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tinJust might all gang up on youTurn the knob and do you inRemember if you plan to stayThose who give can take away.Don't bite the hand that feeds youThis never ending power play"Tween Jealous greed and vicious hateIs grinding us like giant millstonesBut it can't be our only fateIt's time we got our heads togetherAnd let'em know that we're awakeThose in the dark, you know they're no longer blindThey're breakin' from your strangle hold on their mindsThose that can see don't need no one to cross the streetBe careful who you're pushin' roundThey just might find you obsoleteRemember if you plan to stayThose who give can take away.Don't bite the hand that feeds you MCA Music (BMI)All rights for the USA controlled and administered byMCA Corporation of America, INC
