The Power's Out

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 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 The power's out And no one can save us No one can blame us now That the power's out It was pouring like a movie Every stranger looked like they knew me Handsome 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 The power's out And no one can save us No one can blame us now 'Cause 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
