Intro: Verse 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. Verse 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.
