Power From Profit Lyrics - Skrewdriver

It's time to face the music, we've let our country down 

Upon the face of our nation, there seems to be a frown 

Once we were all proud men of this green and pleasant land, 

But we've lost a lot of tears over you 

Very soon our time will come, our nation's doom will toll 

They've bought up all our industries, and they've tried to buy our souls 

And then our nation's working men, will be the rich man's slaves 

Yes, we've lost a lot of tears over you 

Chorus: 

It's power from profit, they're buying our souls 

It's power from proit, puts you on the dole 

It's power from profit, a good job's hard to find 

It's power from profit, they'll soon own our minds 

I think it's time our people stood together all as one 

And took back all our nation's wealth when the profiteers have gone 

Our working men would be fairly paid, for all their sweat and toil 

Yes, we've lost a lot of tears over you 

(Repeat Chorus) 

It's power from profit, the capitalist's a theif 

If he stands against us, he better stay out of our reach 

We will fight against them with a hammer and a gun 

And when our people start to rise, the traitor's time will come 

(Repeat Chorus) 

And when our time has finally come, and we've gained our brave new world 

The people stand and hail the dawn, the banners are unfurled 

We've got to be on guard to see that they don't come again 

Because we've lost alot of tears over you 

(Repeat Chorus) x2
