If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch Would you do it? If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich Would you do it? If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back Would you do it? If you could take all the love without giving any back Would you do it? And so we cannot know ourselves or what we'd really do... With all your power With all your power With all your power What would you do? If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody Would you do it? If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses Would you do it? No No No No No No Are you crazy? It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want... Because you cannot know yourself or what you'd really do... With all your power With all your power With all your power What would you do?
