Power Company - Eric Burdon
My daddy worked a lifetime yeah
For the Power Company
Turning night into day yeah
Yeah for the Power Company
You know that he can still recall when the company was God
Man was a slave
Throughout a war-torn strife
My daddy held his lit electric light
Power Company
They told him 'join the union lad or we'll kick you in the a**'
Power Company
I grew up with these words printed on my back
Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh when will you be free
I worked like a dog all day on the production line
This factory is a jail every day of your life you know
You're doing time
Now I got a little car
And I can't afford the gas
The house is cold and draughty
And the kids grow up too fast
I walk around no future no past
Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh when will you be free
How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery
My old man gets up each morning
And he goes to work each day at the Power Company
Yeah he still does his little job and it isn't very hard
A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew
And the bosses at the top
They never seem to stop
Power Company
And we're singin'
Whoa oh oh oh Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh when will you be free
Whoa oh oh oh Power Company
Whoa oh oh oh when will you be free
Move your soul
