Etta James - Power Play lyrics

What gives you the right hey you To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from living like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you This never ending power play "between Jealous greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let them know that we're awake Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breaking from your strangle hold on their minds Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushing round They just might find you obsolete Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away Don't bite the hand that feeds you
