Story behind the song
I wrote this during the build-up for the war in Iraq.
The true reasons for this war were being so obscured.
Powerful people will send others to war with promises that it is for a noble cause. Usually it is for Sphere of Influence, trade, territory, resources, market and alliance. Power.
Lyrics
Powerful People 2000, Madeline Preisner
Powerful People, you've got to watch what they do
their own search for power, is not what theyre tellin you
Theyre sayin theirs is the right way, for the righteous and true
but if they can hear the one true voice, then you can too
Cause if you follow the leaders, if you just go along
You might not end up where you had planned, you might be wrong
Powerful people, will tell you what they want to.
So just remember their power, all comes from you
And you dont have to believe them, its OK to doubt
Thats what thinkin for yourself is all about
Cause its not easy to watch,
other peoples misfortune
Misery on TV
Its not easy to look
you see the pain and suffering
It could be you and me, on TV
Powerful people, will tell you what they want to.
So just remember their power, all comes from you
watch what they do
their own search for power,
is not what theyre tellin you
