The Power’s Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monday morning, subway station
Pushers pushing, racers racing
Came the message on the station
“The power’s out across the nation”
And, “Ladies and gentleman it seems we’ve got a problem”
The man on my screen said, just as somebody shot him
And the mothers gasped, the children cried
Almost could not believe my eyes

[Chorus]
The power’s out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power’s out

[Verse 2]
It was pouring like a movie
Every stranger looked likе they knew me
Handsomе cowboys praying, Gothic
Said, “I just remembered being happy”
And “Ladies and gentleman, do remember me smiling”
The queer on the train said as
she jumped off the platform
And some blind folks held the police, crying
I swear to you I would not lie

[Chorus]
The power’s out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power’s out
And no one can save us
No one can blame us now
That the power’s out
That’s why I never came home
