I’m just lying here – down here on the ground
When they kicked me here – I was already down
Now I’m tending my wounds – remembering each face
Tending my wounds – till the next time – comes around

I’m so dazed that I – just sit alone and frown
While down in the city – they paint up the town
They’re living like loons – in some gilded high place
Living like loons – till the next time – comes around

Chorus

When I’ve got the power [When I’ve got the power]
The power – in me
When I’ve got the power [When I’ve got the power]
The power – you’ll see
When I’ve got the power [When I’ve got the power]
Gonna shake down their tower
When I’ve got the power in me – When I’ve got the power

I’ve been shaken up – an’ I’ve been taken down
Now I’m doing my best – not to stay on the ground
I’ve just got to survive – build up power and drive
Got to survive – till the next time – comes around

I’m not a superman – I’m just some nobody
That wasn’t kryptonite – they slipped in my tea
[Though it might as well be]
I’m gonna be ready – you’ll see some sparks fly
I’m gonna be ready – when the next time – comes on by

Chorus
