The Power Game - Anne Clark

I’ve been sitting here all day

Trying to understand

Why people wants to rule each other

When the problem’s close at hand

A little less of what you want

And more of what you’re got

Is enough to keep you struggling

Without hatching other plots

But jystify yourself

Don’t satisfy yourself

You should be outthere roting

Say the power mongers gloating

You hide behind the left or right

To add power to your claims

But what you’re really saying

Doesn’t need theories to explain

Self glorification is what you really mean

The glory you say you despise

Is what mankes it move obscure

I’ll fight to make life better

In any way I can

I’ll break the rules that you tie to me

If it means staying who I am

Don’t tell me how to live my life

Don’t tell me what you do

Repression always brought about

By people with politics and attitudes like you

People

And politics

And attitudes

And you
