Power of Right

Eddie Vedder

5

Bright man scared, living in fear

An itchy trigger finger, a clown in his ear

His intimidation born of his fearHypnotized, bloodshot eyes and a mind unclear

Fading light that disappeared

She came out of nowhere, he had to be near her

On a moonless night, she was the only light

No escape from her pull of gravitation

She color-blinded sight, she echoed in his eyes

She had, she had the power of right

Knocking, knocking the door with his centrifugal force

Couldn′t take the first step, rocking back and forth

Held his invitation, he fell on his sword

Hypnotized, bloodshot eyes and he's begging for more

Drowning with the undertow

She took possession, on a cross, she kept him

Behind the scenes bu-burning gasoline

He took her to the altar, she′s thinking 'bout cremation

Hands up in the air, crying cocktail tears

No witnesses here, she thought the coast was clear

Fuck the past or you'll fuck your future

No questions asked, for fear that the truth hurts

Atomic blast, he was outmaneuvered

Didn′t stand a chance, a fucking hoover

The power of right

Power of right

Power of right

Power of light

Heed the power, equal power

Share the power, feel the power

Fight the power, be the power

Feed the power, be the power of light
