Powerful People - Gino Vannelli

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
