Eddie and 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

[It’s just a powerplay]

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 a powerplay]

Good and evil
They're neck and neck
Bases loaded
And there's three on left

[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]

We're in the final quarter
And it's running out
You'll need a father
Like there's no time-out

[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]
[It’s just a powerplay]

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, and 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 a powerplay]

Good and evil
They're neck and neck
Bases loaded
And there's three on left

[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]

We're in the final quarter
And it's runnning out
You'll need a father
Like there's no time out

[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]
[It’s just a powerplay]

[power, powerplay]
[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]

Good and evil
They're neck and neck
Bases loaded
And there's three on left

[It’s just a powerplay, power, powerplay]

We're in the final quarter
And it's runnning out
You'll need a father
Like there's no time out
