Power and the Glory

Five cars in a four car garage

The whole world is your entourage

You could circle the moon

With your circle of friends

Party with a valet

And it's sunday night

"Let's take the Jag, honey"

got to do it right

Make that impression

The cycle never ends

"What are you drinking?

Can I get your coat?

Didn't quite catch your name"

"Gin and tonic honey and yes you can

And it don't matter we're all the same"

Up here in the power and the glory

Ride it while it's hot

Come on and tell your story

Yeah give it all you got

In the corner your gracious host

Dangling carrots in front of everybody's nose

Must be nice to wear people like a ring

He say "I make the money so I make the rules

I make the distance between the face cards and the fools

We play with my deck

And there ain't but one king"

It's "senator this" and "govenor that"

Just who all do you employ?

How many judges are in your pocket?

'Cause that's what seperates men from boys

Up here in the power and the glory

Ride it while it's hot

Come on and tell your story

Yeah give it all you got

Place no others before me

They might get chewed up used up

That's the way it goes

Up here up here in the power and the glory

Backstage in the dressing room

It's all hush hush

Somebody's been crude somebody's been crushed

"He was my hero how could he be so mean?"

Well it ain't no secret ain't nothing new

You whip out your gold card

And you paint the town blue

Ride off into the sunset on your trusty liomousine

Tell the boys "got to clean it up

Yeah get me out of this mess"

Anyway you know what they say

Good press

Bad press

It's all press

Up here in the power and the glory

Ride it while it's hot

Come on and tell your story

Yeah give it all you got

Place no others before me

They might get chewed up used up

That's the way it goes

Up here up here in the power and the glory

Up here in the power and the glory

Ride it while it's hot

Come on and tell your story

Yeah give it all you got

Power and the glory...
