Eddie & The Tide - Power Play

They're out of order in war
They're out of order in love
They need to feed, they both agree
The hawk and the dove

But don't get mad, get even
And don't let 'em get to you
I never promised it was fair and true
Before they're through they'll have me hunting you

(Remember) It's not important
(It's just the power play)

Good and evil brother, neck and neck
Bases loaded and there's three on deck
It's the power play, a power, power play
We're in the final quarter and it's runnning out
You'll need a father like there's no time out
It's the power play, a power, power play

He'll lift you out of the cradle
Help you into the grave
But don't be fooled by all the rules
And don't be the slave

You take a chill pill, baby
Relax, float downstream
Life is no rehearsal, you know what I mean
And freedom seems to be a far-off dream

(Remember) It's not important
(It's just the power play)

Good and evil brother, neck and neck
Bases loaded and there's three on deck
It's the power play, a power, power play
We're in the final quarter and it's runnning out
You'll need a fire but there's no time out
It's the power play, a power, power play
