I Do Not Have The Power To Cause a Flood Lyrics by Grace Petrie

Whatever’s Left

2015

[Verse 1]
I do not have the power to cause a flood
I'm not like Storm from X-men who so easily could
Manipulate the weather, causing havoc where she stood
But if I had the power to cause a flood, I would
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'd send a flood to Russia, right to Putin's door
The waves of my destruction spanning miles
To wash away the prejudice and then never more
Would he make statements that equate us all to paedophiles
But instead, give all Pussy Riot a damehood
If I only had the power to cause a flood
[Verse 3]
Oh I'd send one to Uganda where Museveni says
Gay and bi and trans abnormals need a cure
And until he finds one he's content to throw them all in jail
A life sentence of repentance, but you can be sure that
Museveni definitely would
Know it if I had the power to cause a flood
[Bridge]
And for Jeremy Clarkson
It's all just a bit of fun
For our highly paid celebrities
To use language of bigotry
And then make no apology
Because no-one sees a link between
The things he thinks it's fine to tweet
And people yelled at in the street
And kids abused in every school
And the time my windows were bricked through
[Outro]
And Putin and Museveni
For UKIP and for Jeremy
And banter from the Top Gear lads
Yeah, it's PC gone fucking mad
And that's all just fine and good
But if I had the power to cause a flood, you can bet I would
