Power of Right Songtext
von Eddie Vedder

Bright man scared, living in fear
An itchy trigger finger, a clown in his ear
His intimidation born of his fear
Hypnotized, bloodshot eyes and a mind unclear
(Fading light that disappeared)

She came out of nowhere, he had to be near her
On a moonless night, she was the only light

No escape from her pull of gravitation
She color-blinded sight, she echoed in his eyes
She had, she had the power of right

Knocking, knocking the door with his centrifugal force
Couldn′t take the first step, rocking back and forth
Held his invitation, he fell on his sword
Hypnotized, bloodshot eyes and he's begging for more
(Drowning with the undertow)


She took possession, on a cross, she kept him
Behind the scenes bu-burning gasoline

He took her to the altar, she′s thinking 'bout cremation
Hands up in the air, crying cocktail tears
No witnesses here, she thought the coast was clear

Fuck the past or you'll fuck your future
No questions asked, for fear that the truth hurts
Atomic blast, he was outmaneuvered
Didn′t stand a chance, a fucking hoover

The power of right
Power of right
Power of right
Power of light

Heed the power, equal power
Share the power, feel the power
Fight the power, be the power
Feed the power, be the power of light
