  the powers that be
  they like a tough game
  no rules
  some you win
  some you lose
  competition'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
  (background : 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
  you better run

  [jim:] "goodnight, billy."
  [uncle david's great dane:] "woof, woof, woof!"
  [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."

• gerçekten iyi şarkıdır bu, zamanının kulak siken dumtas dumutaslarının çok ötesindedir. sözler dost körpe'den, telaffuzda sıkıntı var ama olsun.
• gençliğimizin en bunalım parçalarından biriydi. hey gidi.
  
  sözleri de şu şekildedir.
  
  ı wake up to another day to see
  that there's nothing left but misery
  when ı look back ı see only mistakes
  life gives so much less than it takes
  
  why suffer?
  everyday is the same
  driving me insane
  
  wasting our lives, we're used again
  another day has passed, another life of pain
  tell me who will help us now
  tell me who will realize
  no noe ever told us how
  no one ever answered our cries
  
  no one did, no one will, ı said no
  no one helps me
  the powers that be
  are there to see
  that we'll never be set free
