You got it in for me, move from behind my back & show Poison spreads fast, faster than you'll ever know Workin' so hard to lock me in the dark With your envy carved on your son's heart So many times you tried to blow my fuse I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am Powered by the blues, powered by the blues If you start a fire, burn your pride & move on Flames rise higher, backfire faster than you'll ever know Workin' so hard to slander my name all over town It's a family affair to chase & hunt me down So many times you tried to blow my fuse I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am Powered by the blues, powered by the blues Tell me did you really think once the dust hit the floor You'd be the last man standing after you declared this war Your hellhounds on my trail misjudged one important thing I am harder, better, faster, stronger than you think If you walk with the law, show justice in your truth Your bitter twisted lies fly high, but don't do you any good Caught in the trap you've set to shut me down Blinded by the prodigy of your own child So many times you tried to blow my fuse I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am Powered by the blues, powered by the blues Powered by the blues, powered by the blues
