The Power's Out
Flogging Molly

From the town of Detroit where my job is secure yeah

Secure in the fact now that it's gone for good yeah

So I'll scrimp and I'll scrape at this pension I saved

So it should be gone by the end of the day


Yeah the power's out

Is there no luck in sight?

Yeah the power's out

Hope it's just for the night

Yeah the power's out

Another kick in the head

I'm so poor at this living I'd be richer off...


Wrap me up in your silver then roll me in gold yeah

Then ice up this whiskey 'til it's nice and cold yeah

Forgive me for dreaming it's all I have left

Except this pending foreclosure and mountains of debt


Yeah the power's out

Well there's fuck all to see

Yeah the power's out

Like this economy

Yeah the power's out

Guess it's par for the course

Unless you're a blood sucking leech ceo, ceo


So I guess the good lord has forgotten about me

And me like himself my old trade's carpentry

I could build him a cross with one hand behind back

And the other three nails 'case he gives me the sack


Yeah the power's out

The poor dog has left home

Yeah the power's out

Couldn't 'ford him a bone

Yeah the power's out

It's the trickle effect

Today it's just me but tomorrow ye rest


Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power...


So don't spend your taxes on men on the moon yeah

We've been there before and we left pretty soon yeah

The grass will be greener one day I expect

When the earth will catch fire then replenish itself


From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop yeah

We don't want your pity we just want a job yeah

There's no shame in us asking with some self-respect

But don't leave it much longer; we're human at best


Yeah the power's out

Well there's fuck all to see

Yeah the power's out

Like this economy

Yeah the power's out

Guess it's par for the course

Unless you're a blood sucking leech ceo, ceo, ceo, ceo

The ceo must go


Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power's out

Yeah the power's out

Power's out, the power's out

From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop

From the town of Detroit where my job is secure

'Cause the power's out
