From the recording Second Sight
Lyrics
Needles of Power
Lyrics - D Echnoz Music - M. Novak
I saw the needles of power
Littered on the hill
Hidden by the underbrush
And hundred dollar bills
Addicts of influence
Stoned on control
Boiled in the spoons
Of the dazed and confused
Filtered through the white cotton
Of the nightly news
There’s the needle of power
Junkies in the dark
Chorus:
Push the plunger down
Needles of power
No guilt no shame
Needles of power
Push the plunger down
By the needles of power
Push the plunger down
Like some hollow veined junkie
That’s lying in the street…. That never gets enough
He stumbles through the halls…. Reeking of defeat
Addicts of influence stoned on control
Their needle breaks the skin
And our resistance fades
The needle breaks the skin
All perceptions are jaded
Addicts of influence
Junkies in control
