Album: Beyond Recognition (1992)

Power Trip


[Music: Adams / Harrington]
[Lyrics: Esquivel / Harrington / Kaufmann]

Freakshow in the streets
Take over what they please
One word we thought was safe
Too late, the crime was made

We the people, where do we
stand
Is there a way to resolve
The power trip in this land

[Chorus:]

The power trip in this land
The power trip which we see
The power trip that we fear
The power trip...
Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a pine on humanity
You know I doubt your morality
[Repeat chorus]

So why must we fight
Scared for this life
See the man deprived of freedom
As he's stripped of his life

So why must we die
Snipped of his life
See a man deprived of freedom
As he begs for his life

[Repeat chorus]

Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a price on humanity
You know I doubt your integrity

Die with dignity
