Got Power?

Power is Boring lyrics:

Believe me, if I were dicator
You know what I'd do?
Come to think of it,
There's a problem there
For aspiring tyrants like me and you...

Ever wonder what it'd really be like
To be your own dictator?
Might be its own kind of prison

Of total fear

Can't make love or go anywhere
Without bodyguards in your hair
Never know which trusted friend
Has plans to blow you away
 

3,000 pairs of shoes
No one to talk to
'Nuff guns to kill everyone you own

The masses act so loyal
Yet you can't sleep in the same place twice
I wouldn't want to be a Noriega or Khadafi

Would you?
  

Power is boring

And ya know, I wonder how
The downtown crowd can stand themselves

Look sharp. Play to win.
Through intimidation 

That person at the next desk
Ain't your friend
He's your competitor
The only way to get promoted first
Is to get HIM first

Or else..
 

Hi ho - whadya know
They all got the same plan for you

Where do these people go
Between their daily meals of work?
Too burnt and stressed
To even think of how to spend the money

No one else to show it to
But people just like me - AGH!

Power is Boring!

Hot damn, we're the headliners at last
Gonna show this scene a thing or two
Play games and help our friends

Now the phone rings all the time
It's all you fault

"You've been crowned king
Of what you used to warn us about"

Why play that game at all?
The ones who want the power THAT bad

-Are missing something in their lives-

Being scared of my friends
In a junta, scene or business world
Is the most miserable existance
I could think of on earth

Power is Boring!
