Flogging Molly - The Power's Out lyrics

From the town of Detroit where
My job is secure, yeah
Secure in the fact now that
It's gone for good, yeah
So I'll scrimp and I'll scrape
At this pension I saved
So it should be gone by the end of the day

Yeah the power's out
Is there no luck in sight?
Yeah the power's out
Hope it's just for the night
Yeah the power's out anothe kick in the head
I'm so poor at this living I'd be richer off
Wrap me up in your silver
Then roll me in gold, yeah
Then ice up this whiskey 'til
It's nice and cold, yeah
Forgive me for dreaming it's all I have left
Except this pending foreclosure and
Mountains of debt

Yeah the power's out
Well there's fuck all to see
Yeah the power's out like this economy
Yeah the power's out
Guess it's par for the course
Unless you're a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO

So I guess the good lord
Has forgotten about me
And me like himself my old trade's carpentry
I could build him a cross
With one hand behind back
And the other three nails 'case
He gives me the sack

Yeah the power's out
The poor dog has left home
Yeah the power's out
Couldn't 'ford him a bone
Yeah the power's out it's the trickle effect
Today it's just me but tomorrow ye rest
Yeah the power's out yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out yeah the power

So don't spend your taxes on men on the moon
Yeah we've been there before and
We left pretty soon, yeah
The grass will be greener one day I expect
When the earth will catch
Fire then replenish it'self

From the town of Detroit where
We fight 'til we drop, yeah
We don't want your pity we just want a job
Yeah there's no shame in us
Asking with some self-respect
But don't leave it much longer
We're human at best

Yeah the power's out
Well there's fuck all to see
Yeah the power's out like this economy
Yeah the power's out
Guess it's par for the course
Unless you're a blood sucking
Leech CEO, CEO, CEO, cEO the CEO must go

Yeah the power's out yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out yeah the power's out
Power's out, the power's out
From the town of Detroit where
We fight 'til we drop
From the town of Detroit where
My job is secure 'Cause the power's out
