the powers that be - roger waters lyrics
the powers that be
the powers that be
they like a tough game
no rules
some you win, some you lose
compet-tion’s good for you
they’re dying to be free
they’re the powers that be
they like a bomb proof cadillac
air conditioned, gold taps,
back seat gun rack, platinum hub caps
they pick horses for courses
they’re the market forces
nice car jack
they like order, make-up, lime light power
game shows, rodeos, star wars, tv
they’re the powers that be
if you see them come,
you better run – run
you better run on home
sisters of mercy better join your brothers
put a stop to the soap opera right now
they say the toothless get ruthless
you better run on home
you better run – run
you better run on home
the powers that be
they like treats, tricks, carrots and sticks
they like fear and loathing, they like sheep’s clothing
and blacked-out vans
blacked-out vans, contingency plans
they like death or glory, they love a good story
they love a good story
sisters of mercy better join with your brothers
put a stop to the soap opera state
they say the toothless get ruthless
run home before its too late
you better run – run
you better run on home
[billy:] goodnight, jim.
[jim:] goodnight, billy.
[uncle david’s great dane:] woof, woof, woof!
[the canyon – daytime. billy plays with great uncle david’s great dane]
[paraquat kelly:] bull heads, three red snapper, one pink snapper
and your pacific coastal trench hosemonster fish.
[cynthia fox:] ohhh! at sky david’s juke joint of joy reports,
forty under the console giggle stick ling cod,
twenty-three purple perches four sledgehammerhead sharks,
and what a surprise, eightyfour crabs, and no red snappers.
[paraquat kelly:] hey, and that’ll do for the triumphant return
of the fish report with a beat.
[jim:] we think of it as mainstreet, but to the rest of the country
it’s sunset strip. you’re listening to kaos in los angeles.
