Tower Of Power

There`s a place where everybody`s goin to
It`s the place that`s the place to be
It`s the scene where everybody wants to be seen

If you choose to go and get your mind right
your body will follow
You better be there way ahead of time or stand
in line

(Everybody`s gonna be there They`ll be party people
everywhere)

`cause one thing you know for sure

It`s souled out
(Got to be real everybody got to be real)
It`s souled out
(Got to be there everybody got th be there)

Late at night and the place will be bumpin
So you better bring your dancin` shoes
Cause there`s gonna be some hot, funky rhythm and blues

If you choose to go and make a statement
That`s not hard to swallow
But there`s gonna be some competition there
So beware

(With alittle bit of soul now With some positive emotion)

And one thing you`ll konw for sure

It`s souled out
(Got to be real everybody got to be real)
It`s souled out
(Got to be there everybody go to be there)
It`s souled out
(Got to be real everybody got to be real)
It`s souled out
(Got to be there everybody go to be there)

It`s souled out

Party people everywhere
(souled out)
Draw your hands up beat me yeah~
(souled out)

Politicians promise all they can,
To get elected, hmm, they make a better land.
In the smoke filled rooms they're makin' all their plans,
But when the smoke gets cleared y' know it's just a scam.

I'm just an average, ordinary kind o' guy,
Punchin' in at nine, punchin' out at five,
Doin' all I can to pay the bills on time,
No matter how hard I try I just can't get by.

*Taxed to the max, but we can't get the facts,
They just tell us what they think we ought to know.
We get taxed to the max, but we don't get it back,
Someone tell me where the money really goes.

Weapons systems - Uh! - National defense,
Vested interests, hmm, it doesn't make no sense.
What we think we're getting' ain't always what we get,
They keep raisin' all out taxes and we get deeper, deeper in debt.

I'm just an average, ordinary kind o' man,
Slightly underpaid, tryin' to understand,
No matter what I make it's never quite enough,
I wanna do my share, but it just ain't fair!

*Repeat(x2)

HORN BREAK, RHYTHM BREAK I'm just an average, ordinary kind o' guy,
Punchin' in at nine, punchin' out at five,
Doin' all I can to pay the bills on time,
No matter how hard I try I just can't get by, ooh!

Taxed to the max, but we can't get the facts,
They just tell us what they think we ought to know.
Taxed to the max, but we don't get it back,
Someone tell me where the money really goes.

I've been through all them changes,
A lot of stuff came down.
I've dealt with all the issues,
You might say I've been around.
But back when I got started,
There was a righteous sound.
It doesn't matter what I've been through,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
I had an attitude adjustment,
I did some psycho therapy.
I helped myself to some self-help,
I dabbled in some ESP.
Though my world is ever-changing,
And I move from town to town,
It doesn't matter where I've been to,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
You got your rap and your disco,
You got your drum machine.
You got your R-rated gangster,
You got your grungy scene.
You got your state of the art,
You got your digital sound.
It doesn't matter where it's going to
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Take it to the bridge,
It'll get ya where ya live.
When there's water all around,
You can still get outta town,
And still be diggin' on James Brown.
Ya know the more things change,
The more they stay the same.
It may be a different age,
But I'm on the same page.
Cause one thing that I've found,
I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.

He's obsessed with sex
Impressed by the rich
He's been

Pats him on the back
And he's

Bound just to drag that ball and chain
Bound just to drag that ball and chain
His mama don't cut this boy no slack
It's drivin' him insane
I guess he's bound and determined
to drag that ball and chain

He's got his
Plastic money

Lives out his dreams
on upward mobility
He said he was
lonely once
He said he was


lonely twice
You'd think that he'd
look around
check it out
what a way to live a life
And he's

Bound just to drag that ball and chain
Bound just to drag that ball and chain
