Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've got the power in there
Waving your wand in the air
[Verse 2]
Time after time, those fanatical minds
Try to rule all the world
Telling us all it's them
Who's in charge of it all
I've got a tricked out magic stick
That will make them all fall
We got the power now
Motherfuckers, it's where it belongs
[Verse 3]
You've got that right (Power in there)
You know that is (Waving your wand in the air)
[Verse 4]
They have their weapons to solve all their questions
They don't know what it's for (They don't know what it's for)
Why can't they see that's not power, that's greed?
To just want more and more (Just to want more and more)
I got a plan and it's here in my hand a baton made of light
We're the enforcers, the sorcerer's orphans
And we know why we fight (And we know why we fight)
[Verse 5]
You've got that right (Power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)
[Verse 6]
(You've got the power in there)
(You've got the power in there)
(You've got the power in there)
(Waving your wand in the air)
[Verse 7]
You've got that right
You know that is
