Lyrics:
Who Gave Him the Power
The old man mayor slams his cane on the ground
The council protests against his corruption
The newspaper is looking to write something profound
But the mayor claims he doesn’t have to give any answers
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The bishop closes the door behind him
And he tells the unbeliever what will happen next
How his family will leave him and his future’s grim
He recommends consuming something which can’t be seen
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The father removes and wields his belt
The child trembles by themselves in the corner
They’ve long learned how to cover a welt
The power of birth can determine our fate
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The president watched the protestors’ blaring
He knew that the millions are being hurt
His tears suggest he may be caring
But he throws up his hands, there’s nothing we can do
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The prosecutor knew they weren’t guilty but proceeded
It is all part of the system they justify to themselves
In their mind the victim shouldn’t’ve conceded
Life is struggle and giving up won’t get you a diamond
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
Who Gave Him the Power
The old man mayor slams his cane on the ground
The council protests against his corruption
The newspaper is looking to write something profound
But the mayor claims he doesn’t have to give any answers
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The bishop closes the door behind him
And he tells the unbeliever what will happen next
How his family will leave him and his future’s grim
He recommends consuming something which can’t be seen
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The father removes and wields his belt
The child trembles by themselves in the corner
They’ve long learned how to cover a welt
The power of birth can determine our fate
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The president watched the protestors’ blaring
He knew that the millions are being hurt
His tears suggest he may be caring
But he throws up his hands, there’s nothing we can do
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
The prosecutor knew they weren’t guilty but proceeded
It is all part of the system they justify to themselves
In their mind the victim shouldn’t’ve conceded
Life is struggle and giving up won’t get you a diamond
I’m not sure who gave him the power
Do we have no choice but to let him continue
Is it necessary for our lives to be so dour
Or is there something you and I can do
