Standing on a powerkeg
on dynamite
Power surging in us
on the rise
sky high
Standing on both legs
on a powerkeg
not powderkeg
dry
The juice is flowing
streaming
I stand
we stand
on a powerkeg
on a lift-off ledge
We stand on the powerkeg
of fact
We are standing on a powerkeg
a book of matches, of facts, in hand
to set fire to
the paper-thin story
to burn away
their sorry story
We are holding the plug
to plug into
the powerkeg
of facts
to blow sky high
their sorry excuse
of a story, their lies

A LONGER VERSION
Standing on a powerkeg
on dynamite
their edifice
ready to blow
to go
to smithereens
Power surging for us
our edifice
on the rise
sky high
Standing on both legs
on a powerkeg
not powderkeg
dry
The juice is flowing
streaming
you hold the plug
you’ve lit the sky
time flies
the tinderbox
implodes
you rise
we rise
I stand
We stand
on a powerkeg
I stand
We stand
on a lift-off ledge
power!!!
We stand on the powerkeg
of facts, truth
Standing on a powerkeg
a match in hand
a fact
to set fire to
the paper-thin story
to burn away
the sorry story
We are holding the plug
to plug into
the powerkeg
of fact
to blow sky high
the sorry excuse
of a story, the lie
