Powerful People

Look at the powerful people
Stealing the sun from the day
Wish I could do something about it
When all I can do is pray
ItЂ™s a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And sunday when thereЂ™s time
I think of these things on my mind
And I donЂ™t know
Where I will go
Look at the ominous people
Draining the salt from the sea
Wish I could just stand up and shout it
Why canЂ™t they let goodness be
Oh itЂ™s a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And some day when thereЂ™s time
I think of these things on my mind
And I donЂ™t know
Where I will go
Come on you world wonЂ™t you give a damn
Turn on some lights and see this garbage can
Time is the essence if we plan to stay
Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home
Wish I could just stand up and shout it
Why canЂ™t they let goodness be
Oh itЂ™s a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And sunday when thereЂ™s time
I think of these things on my mind
Oh and monday thereЂ™s no time
So I close both my eyes and IЂ™m blind
And I donЂ™t care where oh where is my prayer
