The Powers That Be, Paul Carrack - The Powers That Be lyrics

This is some live rock and roll at KAOS
Where rock and roll comes out of chaos and
A song called 'The Powers That Be'!

(The powers that be, the powers that be
The powers that be)

They like a tough game, no rules
Some you win, some you lose
Competition, good for you to die, to be free
They're the powers that be
They like a bomb proof Cadillac
Air conditioned, gold taps
Back seat gun rack platinum hub caps
They pick horses for courses
They're the market forces (Nice car, Jack)
They like order, make-up lime light, power
Game shows, rodeos star Wars, TV
They're the powers that be
If you see them come

You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home

Sisters of mercy better join
With your brothers (brothers)
Put a stop to the soap opera right now (yeah)
They say the toothless get ruthless
You better run on home

You better run, run you better run on home

(The powers that be, the powers that be
The powers that be)

They like treats, tricks carrots and sticks
(The powers that be)
They like fear and loathing
(The powers that be)
They like sheep's clothing
(The powers that be) and blacked-out vans
Blacked-out vans contingency plans
They like death or glory (death or glory)
They love a good story

They love a good story
Sisters of mercy better join
With your brothers (sisters of mercy)
Put a stop to the soap opera state
They say the toothless get ruthless
Run home before it's too late

You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home
You better run, run you better run on home
You better run
