Lyrics Powerman - The Kinks
I
know
a
man,
he's
a
powerful
man
He's
got
the
people
in
his
power
In
the
palm
of
his
hand.
He
started
at
the
bottom
and
he
worked
his
way
up
Now
he's
never
going
to
stop
Until
he
reaches
the
top.
It's
the
same
old
story,
it's
the
same
old
dream,
It's
power
man,
power
man,
and
all
that
it
can
bring.
If
you
want
your
money,
you
better
stand
in
the
line
'Cos
you'll
only
end
up
picking
up
nickels
and
dimes.
You
call
him
names
and
he
sits
and
grins
'Cos
everybody
else
is
just
a
sucker
to
him.
And
he's
got
my
money,
but
I've
got
my
faith
And
powerman,
powerman,
I'll
never
be
your
slave.
It's
the
same
old
story,
it's
the
same
old
game
It's
power
man,
power
man,
driving
me
insane
People
tried
to
conquer
the
world
Napoleon
and
Genghis
Khan
Hitler
tried
and
Mussolini
too
Powerman
don't
need
to
fight,
powerman
don't
need
no
guns
Powerman
got
money
on
his
side
Well
I'm
not
rich
and
I'm
not
free
But
I've
got
my
girl
and
she
got
me
He's
got
my
money
and
my
publishing
rights
But
I've
got
my
girl
and
I'm
alright
And
she
got
me
going,
and
she
keeps
me
sane
But
powerman,
powerman,
got
money
on
the
brain
It's
the
same
old
story
it's
the
same
old
game
Powerman,
powerman
driving
me
insane
