The Power Ballad

Bless the poets in their graves
Who say we're all gonna be saved
In the most unpredictable way
On the most predictable day

Who loves a skeptic? And who do skeptics love?
Who won't surrender to the mysteries above?
We were all born to be so dangerously free
The power of love vs. the love of power

Don't wanna grow in their gardens
I wanna be the weed beyond the fence
I wanna live outside the frame
With no name in my defense

Fame only makes you inhumane
Look at the kings all gone insane
I only wanna be rich, if everyone in the whole world is
The power of love vs. the love of power

I'd rather wear shirts with broken seams
Than to wear their hand-me-down dreams
Fashion only lasts a little while
But an open mind is always in style

You gotta be brave to be so afraid
I feel like I win every time I fail
The power of love vs. the love of power
Vs. the love of power
The power of love vs. the love of power
Vs. the love of power
