I wanna tell you a story about a future Vision I once had from an old ancient god Who sent down an army of machines to take The power from the land, bring it back above They rode carriages without horses, brought electric light Called it magnetic motion, lit the sad cafe When the bullets rang on our doorstep, they'd done it "for the Lord" Whole towns were mowed over looking for where power was stored Do you need power? Do you need power? Do you need power? It's in the heart of man She said, "Don't worry, boy You've won me over Just be careful, be on time And if I shake like a willow, hold me tighter" And we'll stay up late with our radio In case the raid comes at night We'll go down listening to powerful sounds Making pantomime, blown saxophones wail Do you need power? Do you need power? Do you need power? It's in the heart of man. It's a question that's been asked from time to time The answer, not hard to remember One body who receives the light Into the heart of man
