I came home from working late last night

Dead tired I stumbled through the door

Sat down and watched a man on my TV

Ask me for just a little more

I see a sadness in my young boys eyes

How’d something so damn good get so off track

You want to build your bridge upon his back

But I see through your soul

And I know it’s just your struggle for power

I woke up a little late today

But when I opened up my eyes

I saw that all your plans and policies

Were just the best money could buy

My daughter stares out at the shining sea

We watch the dream sail further out of reach

You want her heart to try and fill your breach

But I see through your soul

And I know it’s just your struggle for power

Take the money don’t ask why

Hey it’s just a little lie

It’s not what you do, it’s what you say

If someone takes the fall

Just say you can’t recall

No one out there gives a damn about it anyway

Why has the truth become so hard to see

A man without a conscience lives in shame

Now how you ever gonna feel my pain

When I see through your soul

I know it’s just your struggle for power

I see through your soul

Ah some men will do anything for power

I see through your soul

We can fix this with just a little more power

Take the money don’t ask why

It was just a little lie
