The Power Ballad

The Power Ballad - Molly Nilsson

Bless the poets in their graves

Who say we're all gonna be saved

In the most unpredictable way

On the most predictable day

Who loves a sceptic

And who do skeptics love

Who won't surrender to the mysteries above

We were all born to be

So dangerously free

The power of love

Vs the love of power

Don't wanna grow in their gardens

I wanna be the w**d beyond the fence

I wanna live outside the frame

With no name in my defense

Fame only makes you inhumane

Look at the kings all gone insane

I only wanna be rich

If everyone in the whole world is

The power of love

Vs the love of power

I'd rather wear shirts with broken seams

Than to wear their hand me down dreams

Fashion only lasts a little while

But an open mind is always in style

You gotta be brave to be so afraid

I feel like I win every time I fail

The power of love

Vs the love of power

Vs the love of power

The power of love

Vs the love of power

Vs the love of power
