The Power's Out Lyrics - Speed Of Darkness - Flogging Molly

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, another 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 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, yeah 

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 itself 

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
