Powers That Be - Disarray, Dave Brockie

Staring in the face of God

Wondering how I let myself fall down this low

I hate myself I hate my life

Wish I could turn back time and not be born

My life

Spend my time in an endless grind

This is what I have become

A victim of a system that I cannot rise above

But I will not submit myself

To your world of greed

I will not surrender my life

To the powers that be

The powers that

Powers that be

All my life I’ve been a slave

Held down by the factors I can’t control

You force feed pain, manipulate

I’m sickened by everything that you stand for

My life

Spend my time in an endless grind

This is what I have become

A victim of a system that I cannot rise above

But I will not submit myself

To your world of greed

I will not surrender my life

To the powers that be

The powers that

Powers that be

Weight of this fallen world pulls me under

Try to lift myself from the ashes

The powers that be
