the powers that be

There ain't no way we 'll lose it This is our life, this is our song We'll fight the powers that be just Don't pick our destiny, 'cause

what happened as I let it slip I was confused by the powers that be, forgetting names and faces,

Oh, back on the chain gang The powers that be That force us to live like we do

Searching for a visa out of necessity Searching for a visa, oh how furious it makes me Searching for a visa, a blow from the powers that be Searching for a visa, what else can I do

I, I go my own way I swim against the stream Forever I will fight the powers that be The eagle flies alone

Time after time when you got a thing for watches When you the plug in the socket (Yes) And the powers that be can't stop it So obnoxious, borderline toxic

Power to the people no delay To make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be

Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou So the powers that be left me here To do the thinkin'

It's an old story that is going on for a while But doesn't end, just like Turandot [the opera] The powers that be: open accounts but close the ports Steal money, impossible to oppose them

So she rans to the arms of America And she kissed the powers that be And someone told me

I would've told you the truth It could've found its way Through the powers that be I just want you to see

Day after day your home life's a wreck, the powers that be just breathe down your neck.

[Chorus] Show me mercy from the powers that be Show me mercy from the godless in me

Still on the run from the karma police You were the mission that's given to me By the powers that be minus Devil, G-O-D

My head is bursting, I've got to change everything. I'm looking for the button, meet The Powers That Be. Force the land into happiness, buy banks and broadcasters.

Better make it quick We ain't got a lot of time 'Cause the powers that be Don't want us free

Not a chance they can deny The powers that be, ancient to see Across the sky of awaking fire

Injustice is taking it all in in its stride Oppressors are preparing for the next ten thousand years The powers that be keep telling you: everything remains the way it is No-one dares raise their voice, only that of the ruling class can be heard

I lived in a shack And was a trouble maker The powers that be were thiefs that started the war

look! my shit is now the same caliber as the Europa League1 (Azi, L’entourloop) YouTube, TikTok, the powers that be, can't just easy-peasy erase me! (Azi, L’entourloop) 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League
