Power Company Lyrics - The Animals

My daddy worked a lifetime, yeah 

For the Power Company 

Turning night into day, yeah 

Yeah, for the Power Company 

You know that he can still recall when the company was God, 

Man was a slave 

Throughout a war-torn strife, 

My daddy held his lit electric light. 

Power Company 

They told him: 'join the union, lad, or we'll kick you in the ass'. 

Power Company 

I grew up with these words printed on my back 

Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free?

I worked like a dog all day on the production line 

This factory is a jail, every day of your life you know 

You're doing time 

Now I got a little car 

And I can't afford the gas 

The house is cold and draughty 

And the kids grow up too fast 

I walk around, no future, no past 

Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free? 

How this world keeps on turning every day is a mystery 

My old man gets up each morning 

And he goes to work each day at the Power Company 

Yeah, he still does his little job and it isn't very hard 

A computer to talk to instead of people he once knew 

And the bosses at the top 

They never seem to stop 

Power Company 

Photos 

And we're singin' 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free? 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...Power Company 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh...when will you be free? 

Yeah, when will you be free from the Power Company? (Power Company) 

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, when will you be free? (Power Company) 

Ask yourself a question and look around you (Power Company) 

You ask yourself a truth that you'll find out (Power Company) 

And you'll never be free (from the Power Company) 

Yeah, move your head (Power Company) 

Move your soul...
