Power Doesn't Run On Nothing

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.

We are just a child

we are just a child

we are wide awake

but our legs are shaky

we're unaware

we're hyper-active

we stare into space with grims on our faces

so give us what we're asking for

cause either way, we're gonna take it

our power doesn't run on nothing

we need the land you're standing on so lets go

move it

we are old as hell

we are old and tell the children

when to kill and when to sit still

everyone doing what we say

till our dieing day, till our breath is empty

so give us what we're asking for

cause either way we're gonna take it

our power doesn't run on nothing

we need the land you're standing on so

lets go

move it

yeah you need to let it go

move it

yeah we're, more equal,

we'll move you people,

off the planet cause we need the fuel

so, so let the beat roll over,

the beat roll over, everyone in line, one in line

so, so let the beat roll over,

the beat roll over, everyone in line

one at a time

they'll give us what we're asking for,

cause god is with us, and our god's the richest

our power doesn't run on nothing,

it runs on blood,

and blood is easy to obtain when you have no shame

when you have no shame

so let the sun bathe

let the sun bathe

we'll still have life, we'll burn even brighter

we'll drain the well, turn all to hell,

leave the earth's surface to the worthless dirt

let the beat roll over, let the beat roll over,

to everyone in mind, everyone in line

you think we'll cease?

you see a reason,

you think it's fair?

to think it's fair,

you think we care?
