Skrewdriver - Power From Profit Lyrics
It's time to face the music, we've let our country downUpon the face of our nation, there seems to be a frownOnce we were all proud men of this green and pleasant land,But we've lost a lot of tears over youVery soon our time will come, our nation's doom will tollThey've bought up all our industries, and they've tried to buy our soulsAnd then our nation's working men, will be the rich man's slavesYes, we've lost a lot of tears over youChorus:It's power from profit, they're buying our soulsIt's power from proit, puts you on the doleIt's power from profit, a good job's hard to findIt's power from profit, they'll soon own our mindsI think it's time our people stood together all as oneAnd took back all our nation's wealth when the profiteers have goneOur working men would be fairly paid, for all their sweat and toilYes, we've lost a lot of tears over you(Repeat Chorus)It's power from profit, the capitalist's a theifIf he stands against us, he better stay out of our reachWe will fight against them with a hammer and a gunAnd when our people start to rise, the traitor's time will come(Repeat Chorus)And when our time has finally come, and we've gained our brave new worldThe people stand and hail the dawn, the banners are unfurledWe've got to be on guard to see that they don't come againBecause we've lost alot of tears over you(Repeat Chorus) x2
