Flogging Molly - The Power's Out Lyrics
From the town of Detroit where my job is secure yeahSecure in the fact now that it's gone for good yeahSo I'll scrimp and I'll scrape at this pension I savedSo it should be gone by the end of the dayYeah the power's outIs there no luck in sight?Yeah the power's outHope it's just for the nightYeah the power's outAnother kick in the headI'm so poor at this living I'd be richer off...Wrap me up in your silver then roll me gold yeahThen ice up this whiskey 'til it's nice and cold yeahForgive me for dreaming it's all I have leftExcept this pending foreclosure and mountains of debtYeah the power's outWell there's ***** all to seeYeah the power's outLike this economyYeah the power's outGuess it's par for the courseUnless you're a blood sucking leech CEO, CEOSo I guess the good lord has forgotten about meAnd me like himself my old trade's carpentryI could build him a cross with one hand behind backAnd the other three nails 'case he gives me the sackYeah the power's outThe poor dog has left homeYeah the power's outCouldn't 'ford him a boneYeah the power's outIt's the trickle effectToday it's just me but tomorrow ye restYeah the power's outYeah the power's outYeah the power's outYeah the power...So don't spend your taxes on men on the moon yeahWe've been there before and we left pretty soon yeahThe grass will be greener one day I expectWhen the earth will catch fire then replenish itselfFrom the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop yeahWe don't want your pity we just want a job yeahThere's no shame in us asking with some self-respectBut don't leave it much longer; we're human at bestYeah the power's outWell there's ***** all to seeYeah the power's outLike this economyYeah the power's outGuess it's par for the courseUnless you're a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO, CEO, CEOThe CEO must goYeah the power's outYeah the power's outYeah the power's outYeah the power's outPower's out, the power's outFrom the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we dropFrom the town of Detroit where my job is secure'Cause the power's out
