The Powers That Be (Live From Prague May 2023)
Lyrics
The powers that be
The powers that be
The powers that be
The powers that be
They like a tough game, no rules
Some you win, some you lose
Competition good for you
They're dying to be free
They're the powers that be
The powers that be
The powers that be
The powers that be
They like a bombproof Cadillac
Air conditioned, all tapped
Backseat, gun rack
Platinum hubcaps
They pick horses for courses
They're the market forces
Ice cold Jack
They like order, makeup, limelight power
Game shows, rodeos, Star Wars TV
They're the powers that be
If you see them coming
You better run
Run
You better run on home
You better run
Run
You better run on home
Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers
Put a stop to this soap opera right now
They say the truth must be ruthless
You better run on home
The powers that be
The powers that be
The powers that be
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
Contingency plans
They like death and glory
They love a good story
Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers
Put a stop to this soap opera
They say the truth must be ruthless
Stand up before it's too late
You better stand
Stand up to the man
Stand up to the man
You better stand
Stand up to the man
Stand up to the man
You better stand
