[Verse 1] Empty pockets whisper worries Concrete canyons echo hurried Footsteps run from sunup’s glare A chilling breath of cold despair The hungry beast it gnaws and bites Devouring all our days and nights [Chorus] Power Money They own the air we breathe Control the people blindly A tangled web they weave The city’s pulse is angry A storm about to break This brittle peace is hanging For goodness gracious sake [Verse 2] Newsman grins a crooked smile Feeding fears a toxic bile Eyes wide shut we swallow lies Beneath the ever watchful skies They build their towers tall and mean A gilded cage a silent scream [Chorus] Power Money They own the air we breathe Control the people blindly A tangled web they weave The city’s pulse is angry A storm about to break This brittle peace is hanging For goodness gracious sake [Bridge] [gritty singing] Fist in my pocket Heart a ticking clock it Beats a rhythm wild and low A silent seed begins to grow [crescendo] They think they’ve won they think they're kings But every chain eventually sings [Chorus] Power Money They own the air we breathe Control the people blindly A tangled web they weave The city’s pulse is angry A storm about to break This brittle peace is hanging For goodness gracious sake
