(GoldsteinTreganna)

see you round for the last time

first time in a different light

found the time to ask myself

is this vision right

when we met three years ago

I thought you were so cool

I could sense that hidden power

power to lead the human race

turn off your old transistor

you've had your chance now mister

you've gone and sold your soul to fame

the cards are on the table now

your luck is ending fast

someone else had marked the pack

I guess you know it wouldn't last

high up your pedestal

you thought you really had it sussed

a pillar of society

don't you know that power corrupts (absolutely)

and now's the time you're gonna fall, watch you fall

you were such a nervous guy too dumb to suss it out

you gone and sold your soul for fame

you're safe now in your solitude

a sittin by the pool

your friends are bought your foes in court

a havin broke your rules

tryin to make you see the truth

your blind to reality

wrapped up warm in cotton residue

there's nothign left inside you
