Just 'cos you got the power


You might be a financial wizard,
With a sack of loot,
All I see is a slimy lizard,
With an expensive suit,
Go on and run your corporation,
Go and kiss some ass,
You might buy half of the nation,
But you can't buy class

You bastards think it's funny,
Lyin' and thieving all your life,
Think all there is is money,
Got your future strapped up tight,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right

You can take my fingers babe,
You can take my eyes,
You can take my past and future,
It won't make you wise,
You can have me thrown in jail,
You can steal my booze,
You can even read my mail,
Step on my blue suede shoes,

You bastards must be clever,
Got it mapped out in black and whit,
But don't forget you'll never,
Get a dog to walk upright,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right

Go on out make another deal,
Feed your big fat face,
Go on out and cop a feel,
Get on somebody's case,
You surely would be satisfied,
If you could have it all,
But time ain't on your side,
You're going to the wall

You think that life's all dollars,
Greed and lust and spite,
But I wasn't born to follow,
Like to get my sleep at night,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics JUST 'COS YOU GOT THE POWER of MOTORHEAD is also present in the album No sleep at all (1990)

Biografia

Motörhead was a British hard rock and heavy metal band, formed in London in 1975 by Lemmy Kilmister (vocals, bass), Steve Turner (guitar) and Lucas Fox (drums). The band's name derives from the Hawkwind song "Motorhead", in which Lemmy played bass before forming his own band. Considered pioneers of speed metal, Motörhead influenced generations of musicians with their powerful and aggressive sound characterized by fast riffs, provocative lyrics and Lemmy's iconic growl. Among their most famous songs are "Ace of Spades", "Overkill" and "Bomber". The group released over 20 studio albums, including "Overkill" (1980), "Iron Fist" (1982) and "Bastards" (1993). Lemmy Kilmister died in 2015 from a heart attack. Motörhead disbanded after his death.
