Power From Profit

We’ve got to face the music, we’ve let our country down.
Upon the face of our nation, there seems to be a frown.
Once we were all proud men of this green and pleasant land, but we’ve lost a lot of tears over you.

Very soon our night will come, our nation’s doom will toll.
They’ve bought up all our industries, and they’ve tried to buy our souls

And then our nation’s working men, will be the rich man’s slaves.
Yes, we’ve lost a lot of tears over you.

It’s power from profit, they’re buying our souls.
It’s power from profit, puts you on the dole.
It’s power from profit, a good job’s hard to find.
It’s power from profit, they’ll soon own our minds.

I think it’s time our people stood together all as one

And took back all our nation’s wealth when the profiteers have gone.
Our working men would be fairly paid, for all their sweat and toil.
Yes, we’ve lost a lot of tears over you.

It’s power from profit, the capitalist’s a thief.
If he stands against us, he better stay out of our reach.
We will fight against them with a hammer and a gun

And when our people start to rise, the traitor’s time will come.

And when our time has finally come, and we’ve gained our brave new world.
The people stand and hail the dawn, the banners are unfurled.
We’ve got to be on guard to see that they don’t come again.
Because we’ve lost a lot of tears over you.

It’s power from profit, they’re buying our souls.
It’s power from profit, puts you on the dole.
It’s power from profit, a good job’s hard to find.

It’s power from profit, they’ll soon own our minds.
It’s power from profit, they’re buying our souls.
It’s power from profit, puts you on the dole.
It’s power from profit, a good job’s hard to find.
It’s power from profit, they’ll soon own our minds.
