Powerman Lyrics - Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Vol. 1 - Kinks

I know a man, he's a powerful man 

He's got the people in his power 

In the palm of his hand. 

He started at the bottom and he worked his way up 

Now he's never going to stop 

Until he reaches the top. 

It's the same old story, it's the same old dream, 

It's power man, power man, and all that it can bring. 

If you want your money, you better stand in the line 

'Cos you'll only end up picking up nickels and dimes. 

You call him names and he sits and grins 

'Cos everybody else is just a sucker to him. 

And he's got my money, but I've got my faith 

And powerman, powerman, I'll never be your slave. 

It's the same old story, it's the same old game 

It's power man, power man, driving me insane 

People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan 

Hitler tried and Mussolini too 

Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns 

Powerman got money on his side 

Well I'm not rich and I'm not free 

But I've got my girl and she got me 

He's got my money and my publishing rights 

But I've got my girl and I'm alright 

And she got me going, and she keeps me sane 

But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain 

It's the same old story it's the same old game 

Powerman, powerman driving me insane
