"it's a sad thing when i look around and see everyone around me abuse their authority. when you're put up top, that's when you pull the stops: bossin me like a cop just so you look good. you tell me what i wanna hear and make it sound sincere when you're really in fear of losing your job. it's not that i'm better than you, it's just that you have no clue. power shouldn't be left to you. now, i'm going to take it from you."
lyrics from a song i heard in the late 90's from an underground north eastern band that has since broken up and disappeared. i will probably never hear that song again, "power," but the opening lyrics seem to always stay with me, even 11 years later.
