The Power and the Glory - Horslips

Run, run, the shotgun has got you in its range

Turn, turn away, when it’s time to make a change

Look where you’re going, try not to lose your way

What good is knowing you have to go away?

Go, you may go, never know, never know

Time’s run away, so have to go, have to go

Put back the ace black, you never made it good

Go while you can go, go while the going’s good

And the power and the glory is over, so I’ll take it

The power and the glory is over, so I’ll make it

The power and the glory is over, and I’ll break it

The power and the glory is over

Face up to reason, you know it’s up to you

Do what you can do, all that you have to do

Move over now, and I’ll try to take your place

Time to remember that I have won the race

Go, you may go, never know, never know

Time’s run away, so have to go, have to go

Pick up the pieces, to you I’ll have to stand

Break up the power, the glory’s at the end

And the power and the glory is over, so I’ll take it

The power and the glory is over, so I’ll make it

The power and the glory is over, and I’ll break it

The power and the glory is over

Run, run, the shotgun has got you in its range

Turn, turn away, when it’s time to make a change

Look where you’re going.

try not to lose your way

What good is knowing you have to go away?

And the power and the glory is over, so I’ll take it

The power and the glory is over, so I’ll make it

The power and the glory is over, and I’ll break it

The power and the glory is over, so I’ll take it

The power and the glory is over, so I’ll make it

The power and the glory is over, and I’ll break it
