"The Powers That Be"


The powers that be

They like a tough game

No rules

Some you win, some you lose

Competition's good for you

They're dying to be free

They're the powers that be

They like a bomb proof cadillac

Air conditioned, gold taps,

Back seat gun rack, platinum hub caps

They pick horses for courses

They're the market forces

Nice car Jack

They like order, make-up, lime light power

Game shows, rodeos, star wars, TV

They're the powers that be

If you see them come,

You better run - run

You better run on home


Sisters of mercy better join your brothers

Put a stop to the soap opera right now

They say the toothless get ruthless

You better run on home


You better run - run

You better run on home


The powers that be

They like treats, tricks, carrots and sticks

They like fear and loathing, they like sheep's clothing

And blacked-out vans


Blacked-out vans, contingency plans

They like death or glory, they love a good story

They love a good story


Sisters of mercy better join with your brothers

Put a stop to the soap opera state

They say the toothless get ruthless

Run home before its too late

You better run - run

You better run on home


[Billy:] Goodnight, Jim.

[Jim:] Goodnight, Billy.

[Uncle David's Great Dane:] Woof, woof, woof!


[The canyon - daytime. Billy plays with Great Uncle David's Great Dane]


[Paraquat Kelly:] Bull heads, three red snapper, one pink snapper

and your Pacific coastal trench hosemonster fish.

[Cynthia Fox:] Ohhh! At Sky David's juke joint of joy reports,

forty under the console giggle stick ling cod,

twenty-three purple perches four sledgehammerhead sharks,

and what a surprise, eightyfour crabs, and no red snappers.

[Paraquat Kelly:] Hey, and that'll do for the triumphant return

of the fish report with a beat.


[Jim:] We think of it as mainstreet, but to the rest of the country

it's Sunset Strip. You're listening to KAOS in Los Angeles.
