Lyrics
Power In The Blood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No time for spin-doctors' medicine
Corporation government selling me some cover-up
Weaponizing pesticides; poison in my groceries
Nothing but another drug, a license they can buy and sell
I don't mind dying well I don't mind dying
I don't mind dying but when that call it comes
I will say no no no to war
No time for backhanded compliments
From television anchor men desperate for an incident
Real estate assassins exploiting our predicament
Everything depends upon it being in their interests
No I don't mind dying I don't mind dying
I don't mind dying when that call it comes
I will say no no no to war
There is power in the blood, justice in the soul
When that call it comes, I will say no no no to war
Power in the blood, justice in the soul
When that call it comes I will say no no no to war
There's military interest, Gmos in paradise
Bio-weapons high up on the call sheet
Young soldiers driving tanks
But old thieves they drive the banks
And you never see a uniform on Wall Street
There is power in the blood
I don't mind dying I don't mind the dying
I don't mind dying when that call it comes
I will say no no no to war
