The Power of the Word
from University of Life

A man must have
The power of the word
So open your mouth up
And let it be heard
The sinful things
We long to say
That punctuate
The games we play
That is the power of the word

Every good boy
Probably knows
The words are spoken
Very slow
He learned the lines
To mine your mind
To bomb your brain
To hypnotise you
That is the power of the word

Tower of vowels
Fall on the floor
Tune in upon this
Voice control

Lean in towards me
Pick your curse
No action speaks louder
Than your verbs
On the telephone
The smart remarks
The sticks and stones
That break your heart
This is the power of the word
