[Lyrics for Eddie & The Tide – Power Play]
They’re out of order in war
They’re out of order in love
They need to feed, they both agree
The hawk and the dove
But don’t get mad, get even
And don’t let ’em get to you
I never promised
It was fair and true
Before they’re through
They’ll have me hunting you
It’s not important
Good and evil
They’re neck and neck
Bases loaded
And there’s three on left
We’re in the final quarter
And it’s runnning out
You’ll need a father
Like there’s no time out
He’ll lift you out of the cradle
Help you into the grave
But don’t be fooled by all the rules
And don’t be the slave
You take a chill pill, and, baby
Relax, float downstream
Life is no rehearsal
You know what I mean
And freedom seems
To be a far-off dream
It’s not important
Good and evil
They’re neck and neck
Bases loaded
And there’s three on left
We’re in the final quarter
And it’s runnning out
You’ll need a father
Like there’s no time out
