Powerful People

Look at the powerful people
stealing the sun from the day;

wish I could do something about it
when all I can do is to pray.

Oh, it's a lonely afternoon
with nowhere to go but my room.

And Sunday when there's time,
I think of these things on my mind,

and I don't know
where will I go.

Look at the ominous people
draining the salt from the sea;

wish I could just stand up and shout it.
Why can't they let goodness be?

Oh, it's a lonely afternoon
with nowhere to go but my room.

Woh, and Sunday when there's time,
I think of these things on my mind,

and I don't know
where, where will I go.

Oh, come on, you world;
won't you give a damn,

and turn on some lights
and see this garbage can.

And time is the essence
if we plan to stay.

Death is in stride
when filth is the pride
of our home.

Wish I could just stand up and shout it.
Why can't they let goodness be?

Oh, it's a lonely afternoon
with nowhere to go but my room.

Oh, and Sunday when there's time,
I think of these things on my mind.

Woh, and Monday there's no time,
so I close both my eyes and I'm blind,

and I don't care where, where,
where is my prayer.
