CLOVEN HOOF
"Absolute Power"

You tell me
That we live in democracy?
You tell me
That our children are free?

I'm telling you
We're getting screwed
Every way but loose,
Can't you see
We live in hierarchy?

Rich man lives his wildest
Dreams,
Fat act licking off the cream.

You gotta fight
For the right to live!

Slaves and masters
Lust for gold,
Megalomania
Takes control.
How much to sell
Your soul?

Absolute Power!
Absolute Power!
Absolute Power!
Corrupts yeah!

Diamond Jim's
Living in the lap
Of luxury,
Ivory towers
At the top of the tree.

Homeless starve
On the streets,
Abandoned refugees
Down and out
In cardboard city.

Poor man has to soldier on,
Vermin to be spat upon.

Skid row
Ain't no place to go!

Slaves and masters
Lust for gold,
Megalomania
Takes control.
How much to sell
Your soul?

Nation,
Of limitation.
Know your station,
Sell your mother for a price.

Nation,
Of limitation.
Know your station,
Sell your mother for a price.

Slaves and masters
Lust for gold,
Megalomania
Takes control.
How much to sell
Your soul?

Absolute power
Corrupts absolutely!
