The Powers That Be
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.
The day is done
And everyone has spent the summer day out in the rain
Has wandered into someone else's lane
You know exactly what I mean
I bet everyone
Has felt the sun
We all have fallen, picked up to the day
You know we've all been several minutes late
You know exactly what I mean
If you believe in everything you see
In everything you read
That's not me
And I have this feeling no one knows me
Today was fun
For everyone
We all have had our problems of our own
We've all been sitting waiting by the phone
You know exactly what I mean
If you believe in everything you see
In everything you read
That's not me
And I have this feeling no one knows me
And if today were any other day
I promise that I would wrestle the Powers That Be
But I have this feeling no one knows me
If you believe in everything you see and everything you read
That's not me
And I have this feeling
And if today were any other day
I promise that I would wrestle the Powers That Be (Powers That Be)
And I have this feeling no one knows me
