Songtext That powers that be Roger Waters

That powers that be

The powers that be
They like a tough game
No rules
Some you win, some you loseCompetition's good for youThey're dying to be freeThey're the powers that be
They like a bomb proof cadillac
Air conditioned, gold taps
Back seat gun rack, platinum hub capsthey pick horses of coursesThey're the market forces
Nice car JackThey like order, make-up, lime light power
Game shows, rodeos, star wars, TVThey're the power that be
If you see them come,
You better run - run
You better run on home Sisters of mercy better join your brothers
Put a stop to the soap opera right now
They say the toothless get ruthless
You better run on home You better run - run
You better run on home The powers that be
They like treats, tricks, carrots and sticks
They like fear and loathing, the like sheep's clothing
And blacked-out vans Blacked-out vans, contingency plans
They like death or glory, they love a good story Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers
Put a stop to the soap opera state
They say the toothless get ruthless
Run home before its too late
You better run - run
You better run on home Billy: Goodnight, Jim.Jim: Goodnight, Billy.Uncle David's Great Dane: Woof, woof, woof! The canyon - daytime. Billy plays with Great Uncle David's Great Dane.Paraquat Kelly: Bull heads, three red snapper, one pinksnapper and your Pacific coastal thench hosemonster fish
