Power Cut

Gettin' arrested for stealin' trash
With a special invitation to the police bash
Headlines flash, the prices slash
For some corn beef hash
Gettin' arrested for burnin' the flag
And lettin' all official secrets out of the bag
Now, my friends avoid me like the plague

Well, the price is goin' up 'cause the livin' gets cheap
Taxes gonna pull the rug from under my feet
Spend on defense, they kick you in the butt
I said, "Hey, pretty baby, let me tell you what"
We need a Parker
We need a Parker

We need a Parker
We need a Parker

Gettin' arrested sellin' Cuban cigars
Stealin' hubcaps off of cars
What about the cat who's publishin' this memoir?
Strictly M.O.R.
Gettin' arrested hangin' out of the hours
Under late night suns and curfew powers
Protectin' highbrows livin' in the ivory towers

Well, the price is goin' up 'cause the livin' gets cheap
Taxes gonna pull the rug from under my feet
Spend on defense, they kick you in the butt
I said, "Hey, pretty baby, let me tell you what"
'Cause strikes gonna strike in four days
Talk about they're gonna give the army a raise
What's the next phase? Atomic parade
Tragic commands made in crime pays

We need a Parker
We need a Parker
We need a Parker
We need a Parker
Yeah, we need a Parker
We need a Parker
We need a Parker
We need a Parker
We need a Parker, Parker, Parker
