Powerful People

Look at the powerful people Stealing the sun from the day Wish I could do something about it When all I can do is pray It's a lonely afternoon With nowhere to go but my room And Sunday when there's time I think of these things on my mind And I don't know Where I will go Look at the ominous people Draining the salt from the sea Wish I could just stand up and shout it Why can't they let goodness be Oh it's a lonely afternoon With nowhere to go but my room And some day when there's time I think of these things on my mind And I don't know Where I will go Come on you world won't you give a damn Turn on some lights and see this garbage can Time is the essence if we plan to stay Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home Wish I could just stand up and shout it Why can't they let goodness be Oh it's a lonely afternoon With nowhere to go but my room And Sunday when there's time I think of these things on my mind Oh and Monday there's no time So I close both my eyes and I'm blind And I don't care where oh where is my prayer
