Текст песни Power Play - Steppenwolf

Words and Music by John Kay
What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power
To stop me from livin' like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where
None of your clever lies fill the air
I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin
Just might all gang up on you
Turn the knob and do you in
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
This never ending power play
Is grinding us like giant millstones
"Tween Jealous greed and vicious hate
But it can't be our only fate
It's time we got our heads together
And let'em know that we're awake
Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind
They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds
Those that can see don't need no one to cross the street
Be careful who you're pushin' round
They just might find you obsolete
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
