GBH - Power Corrupts lyrics

The flames of degradation burn and
Curl up to the sky
They tell you when you're going wrong
But they'll never tell you why
They got all this power and they
Shove it in your face
Stomp you to the ground just to
Keep you in your place power corrupts
Attitudes adjust power corrupts and
Absolute power absolutely corrupts
Absolute power absolutely corrupts absolutely
They just stand there watching
Got a finger on the trigger
Never believe the other mans
Gun is always bigger
I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go
And I've seen them in the dirt
Paralyzed with fear cuz they
Got nothing to assert
So now we're all on the scrap heap
Got no souls left to save
We're nurtured and we're prodded from
The cradle to the grave
It's a jungle out there and you're
An animal with a past the heart of a snake
Rising up that ladder fast
