Power Corrupts - G.B.H.

The flames of degradation burn and curl up to the sky

They tell you when you’re going wrong but they’ll never tell you why

They got all this power and they shove it in your face

Stomp you to the ground just to keep you in your place

Power corrupts

Attitudes adjust

Power corrupts and…

Absolute power absolutely corrupts

Absolute power absolutely corrupts… Absolutely

They just stand there watching, got a finger on the trigger

Never believe the other mans gun is always bigger

I’ve seen 'em come and I’ve seen 'em go and I’ve seen them in the dirt

Paralyzed with fear cuz they got nothing to assert

So now we’re all on the scrap heap, got no souls left to save

We’re nurtured and we’re prodded from the cradle to the grave

It’s a jungle out there and you’re an animal with a past

The heart of a snake, rising up that ladder fast
