"Power Play" lyrics
"Power Play"
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

For every door you...
Astrud Gilberto - "The Girl From Ipanema" Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a...
Mary Wells - "My Guy" Nothing you can say can tear me away
From my guy
Nothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue
To my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together...
Nina Simone - "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl" I want a little sugar
In my bowl
I want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'
Oh so bad
I feel so funny and I feel so sad
I want a little steam
On my clothes
Maybe I can fix...
