The Underside Of Power Lyrics - Algiers

I've been stranded and paid to die on the side of the road 

I've been shot just because my heart 

I've lost the times I've been bought and sold 

I've been the victim of golden eyes 

I've seen the dead walk among the living 

In division, what's stripped away is made the same on the other side 

Because I've seen the underside of power 

It's a game that can't go on 

It could break down any hour 

I've seen their faces and I've known them all 

Once I vanished to reappear as an object of love 

I've been ripped from the inside out 

And then delivered in the hands of the devil 

I've been convicted of ancient crimes 

And made to drift from Hell to treason 

In division, what's stripped away is made the same on the other side 

Because I've seen the underside of power 

It's just a game that can't go on 

It could break down any hour 

I've seen their faces and I've known them all 

We're on the wrong side of the power 

It's a shadow 

It's just a fire thrown across the wall 

Hold on 

Standfast 

Stay strong 

Change is coming on 

One day a change is gonna come 

Because I've seen the underside of power 

It's just a game that can't go on 

It could break down any hour 

I've seen their faces and I've known them all 

We're on the wrong side of the power 

It's a shadow 

It's just a fire thrown across the wall 

Because I've seen the underside of power 

It's just a game that can't go on 

It could break down any hour 

I've seen their faces and I've known them all
