Peasant pick a prophet
A dozen dimes a downfall
The marble floors are cracking like the plaster on the wall
Paper-thin foundation
Gambler let it it rot and roll.

So why are we so shocked
When the matchstick house is over blown?

Lightning knock the power out
Huff and puff and blow the pig's house down.
Lightning knock the power out.

Doomsdays a'waitin
So better start your praying
Preacher better start your saving
'Fore the devil gets his share
Run and take cover 
Cause it's really coming down out there.

With your candles, cans, and matches 
Watch the wheels turn back into squares.

Lightning knock the power out
Huff and puff and blow the pig's house down.
Lightning knock the power out.
Right out, right out.

The night stick cracks down
And a riot takes the town.
One job lost
But here's a bullet for the boss.
Seven leaders meet
And a thousand take the streets.
One button pressed and goodbye it's the end.

One drop in the water
And it's sayonara Disney Town.
Kinda like the roots
All crackin' through the concrete ground.
One squirrel in the walls 
And it's just a matter of time.

Nitwit got the global joystick 
And long may the cockroach thrive.

And that's the way it'll all go down
Lightning knock the power out.
With simulation cities and computer towers
It won't take much to wipe it out.

Lightning knock the power out
Huff and puff and blow the pig's house down.
Lightning knock the power out.
