Asian Dub Foundation

Powerlines

The Krikati Indians of Brazil knocking out power in the cities

lighter watch the fire grow

surprise fighters delivering a body blow

Original Krikati Junglists coming with the fire this time

Original Krikati Junglists

underground resistance knocking out powerlines coming with the fire this time

Who runs this place

First sign of madness you talk yourself second sign of madness yoursef talks back

First sign of madness you talk yourself second sign of madness yoursef talks back

please select the following option is no longer an option

select the following option means you have no option

i'm shouting out loud with the rest of the shower

shaking our fists in vain down the corridors of power

been queuening and queuening for god know how many hours

outside the tent pissing in for this long man it's downer

they say the buck stops here but if it does i never see it

following the fingers poiting opposite directions i lost it

took me a week to see the boss to learn that he's not in charge

a 1000 people said they could so that one could say they can't

and i see vast quantities of people without a face

i don't now who runs this place

i don't now who runs this place

tell me how high i gotta go all the way from God to the devil below

before i get to want i really now wanna know

and i wanna know WHO RUN DA PLACE?

the figures are wrong the network's knackered

cashpoint is kaput and me nerves are shaterred

you have an infinite choice over the things that doesn't matter

one elite or two more Thatcherite than Thatcher

in a race to the death with a white van man i admit defeat i'm the man with no plan

watch a vampire a poodle a chat show host with a tan

try to squeeze into a 3 second attetion span

and i stick two fingers up into outer space

i don't know who runs this place i don
