TOM ROBINSON BAND LYRICS

"Power In The Darkness"

2004 Remix

Power in the darkness
Frightening lies from the other side
Power in the darkness
Stand up and fight for your rights

Freedom... we're talking bout your freedom
Freedom to choose what you do with your body
Freedom to believe what you like
Freedom for brothers to love one another
Freedom for black and white
Freedom from harassment, intimidation
Freedom for the mother and wife
Freedom from Big Brother's interrogation
Freedom to live your own life... I'm talking 'bout

Power in the darkness
Frightening lies from the other side
Power in the darkness
Stand up and fight for your rights

[Newscaster Glyn Worsnip:] "Good evening, here is the official BBC news from London. The state of emergency was today ended by the new government in Whitehall although the 6pm curfew is to remain strictly in force while the present task of rounding up suspected terrorists is being completed. In a special broadcast, her Majesty The Queen appealed for calm and asked people to give their fullest possible co-operation to the Armed Forces and, at a special Thanksgiving Service in Westminster Abbey the new head of government spoke of a return to a new era of democracy, morality and freedom for the British people.

[Fictional Prime Minister:] What we want is
Freedom to depose every unpleasant government
To do whatever needs to be done
Freedom from NATO and the United Nations
Freedom for the missile and the gun
Freedom from legality, freedom from reality
Freedom from alternative views
Freedom from sanity, freedom from humanity
Freedom from the likes of you..."

Power in the darkness
Frightening lies from the other side
Power in the darkness
Stand up and fight for your rights
