Eric Burdon - Power Company lyrics

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? Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? (Power Company) Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? (Power Company) Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company) You ask yourself a truth that you'll find out (Power Company) And you'll never be free (from the Power Company) Yeah, move your head (Power Company) Move your soul
