Walter Egan - Pistols Of Power lyrics

A stranger is knockin' but don't let him in The sound of the hunter don't be his victim You open your door and then it's too late Ain't no way to argue with his .38 And just like the hunter Who makes you afraid The hidden persuaders appear everyday So clever and cool the way that they run Their sinister power hurts just like a gun You think you are free But the choice ain't so wide Political pa**ion is side versus side You straddle the fence And you're gonna find The pistols of power Aim to make up your mind You see Mr. Bigshot, he's on the TV You feel his power, it's obscenity You're under his thumb The words that he's said Are just like some bullets Aimed right at your head
