Power from Profit
We've got to face the music, we've let our country down
Upon the face of our nation, there seems to be a frown
Once we were all proud man of this cool and pleasant land,
But we've lost alot of tears over you
Very soon our time will come, our nation's doom will toll
They've bought up all our industries, and they've tried to buy our souls
And then our nation's working men, will be the rich man's slaves
Yes, we've lost alot of tears over you
Chorus:
It's power from profit, they're buying our souls
It's power from profit, puts you on the dole
It's power from profit, a good job's hard to find
It's power from profit, they'll soon own our minds
I think it's time our people sttod together all as one
And took back all our nation's wealth when the profiteers have gone
Our working men would be fairly paid, for all their sweat and toil
Yes, we've lost alot of tears over you
(Chorus)
It's power from profit, the capitalists a thief
If he stands against us, he better stay out of our reach
We will fight against us with a hammer and a gun
And when our people start to rise, the traitor's time will come
(Chorus)
And when our time has finally come, and we've gained our brave new world
The people stand and hail the dawn, the banners are unfurled
We've got to be on guard to see they don't come again
Because we've lost alot of tears over you
(Chorus)
We've got to face the music, we've let our country down
Upon the face of our nation, there seems to be a frown
Once we were all proud man of this cool and pleasant land,
But we've lost alot of tears over you
Very soon our time will come, our nation's doom will toll
They've bought up all our industries, and they've tried to buy our souls
And then our nation's working men, will be the rich man's slaves
Yes, we've lost alot of tears over you
Chorus:
It's power from profit, they're buying our souls
It's power from profit, puts you on the dole
It's power from profit, a good job's hard to find
It's power from profit, they'll soon own our minds
I think it's time our people sttod together all as one
And took back all our nation's wealth when the profiteers have gone
Our working men would be fairly paid, for all their sweat and toil
Yes, we've lost alot of tears over you
(Chorus)
It's power from profit, the capitalists a thief
If he stands against us, he better stay out of our reach
We will fight against us with a hammer and a gun
And when our people start to rise, the traitor's time will come
(Chorus)
And when our time has finally come, and we've gained our brave new world
The people stand and hail the dawn, the banners are unfurled
We've got to be on guard to see they don't come again
Because we've lost alot of tears over you
(Chorus)
