Soundgarden - Power Trip Lyrics






I want to be
A cowboy star upon the screen
Oh hey I want to drive
My cowboy car across the scene
Oh hey I want to write
The magazines the housewives read
And I want to be
In control of everything
I want to be King

I want to make the toys
You buy for Christmas Eve
Yeah and I want o be
The father of the ethnic child
Who stars on T.V.
Oh yeah and I, I want to write
The magazines the housewives read
Oh hey and I want all the leaders
Of the Thirld World
To answer to me
I want to be King
I want to be King
So maybe now the Pope
Will bow and kiss my ring
I wanna be King

  14. J.... P....

    At times Chris sounds here like Scott Reagers of Saint Vitus
    Which is good
    Very good

    J.... P....

    I know Kim is a big Saint Vitus fan. Even Alice in Chains shares many similarities with Saint Vitus, especially the Wino era.

  15. D.... D....

    A WANA BE GAYYYYY YAY

  16. m.... c....

    best SG song ever!!!

  17. R.... M....

    ¿Eres tú...black sabbath?

    R.... M....

    shh cállese, viejo feo

  18. T.... ....

    "Maybe now the pope will bow and kiss my ring." Lyrically alone this song owns.

    T.... ....

    TheImmortalCheneys that's always been my favorite line in this song.

  19. M.... W....

    He definitely was a king R.I.P chris cornell. And this is a very underrated soundgarden song

    M.... W....

    Oh yes he was King of Grunge! I miss him daily. I fell into depression the day he left us, there will never be another Chris, he had a once in a lifetime gift that God gave him. And he was one of the most beautiful men that walked the earth to me.

  20. d.... 4....

    Can someone tell me what he says from 3:18 to 3:27?

    d.... 4....

    decider 420 “I swear to God I know what I want and I need, oh I need”

  21. C.... C....

    Man that intro gets me every time

    C.... C....

    Verdade man

    GOAT Soundgarden song. RIP Chris

  25. L.... J....

    rip Chris Cornell

  26. C.... ....

    I keep mishearing this as "i wanna be gay" lol

    C.... ....

    Real truth: I think Chris IS saying "I want to be gay" sometimes - they just recorded it in the lyrics as I want to be king... Sorry if that lets some of the homophobics down -

    C.... ....

    he 100% says "I wanna be gay" at least a couple of times

    C.... ....

    Add one more to the list

    C.... ....

    OMG me too 😂

    C.... ....

    You hear as it applies to ya. Chris can be wuteva he wants😍

  27. J.... A....

    Black Sabbath's guitar tune... Robert Plants style in singing... Drums like Deep.... Shit, It's soundgarden, not Black Sabbath + Deep Purple + Led Zeppelin

    J.... A....

    gotta have some "Loud Love" for this fucking grunge band !!!

    J.... A....

    it's funny. this song is very soundgarden but their earlier stuff pre-bad motor finger sounds like it has a lot of black sabbath influence.

    J.... A....

    This album i personally liked his vocals the best.RIP

  28. L.... C....

    Jim Morrison wouldve and Could've sang the living Piss out of this song....... But..... This tune is ALL Mr. Cornell's..... But imagine Jim killing this tune.... Ridiculous...... But what could've.........

    L.... C....

    no thanks

    L.... C....

    Never could sing the intro Morrison was one dimensional with his voice

    L.... C....

    Morrison was awesome but not in Cornell's league

  29. K.... l....

    I wanna be Queen...

  30. s.... d....

    grunge    carajo q voz d este criss

  31. f.... s....

    let me drown, room a thousand years wide, mail man, head down... wow what a great band is soundgarden.. incredible music

  32. N.... B....

    How do you figure?

  33. U.... ....

    I've always thought this song is about Reagan and then presidents in general cause this song came out in 1989 at the end of Reagan's presidency and he played a cowboy in the movies and supported the censoring of music that people like Tipper Gore founded with the Parents Music Resource Center and how Ronald was a control freak

  34. I.... ....

    Heh heh it looks like leaving a comment like this results not in a list of recommended soundgarden songs, but a list of all of soundgarden songs. I guess you can't really pick out best songs by soundgarden.

  35. I.... ....

    It's such a shame the production was so terrible on their first two albums (especially the first one). The songs are all so good, but they got ruined by the production.

    I.... ....

    Couldn't be any more perfect lol
    (First 2 albums, that is)

  36. d.... ....

    Try listening to junkhead by Alice in Chains. Similar vibe, another great band

    d.... ....

    But this song came first, so Alice in chains' song: Junkhead was directly influenced by Soundgarden.

    d.... ....

    It's just both bands have some Sabbath/Zeppelin influence, that's why some songs sound similar.

    d.... ....

    vocal melody sounds like dirt by alice in chains too

  37. C.... ....

    Lmao!!!! Same! x

  38. s.... ....

    nothing to say

  39. b.... ....

    this scream in the beginning.... just fucking amazing

  40. S.... ....

    lol. sorry but at the end he says " i want to be king" and i thought he said "i want to be gay" "gaaaeeeaayy"

    S.... ....

    ya, I think he did

  41. C.... ....

    @outlawcountryman no attention is a ripper of a track

  42. M.... ....

    @ThePower2112 OUTSHINED
    RUSTY CAGE
    WITH MY GOOD EYE CLOSED

  43. M.... O....

    Heyyy check out my channel!!

  44. B.... ....

    @Arabspwn711 I wouldn't really call everything on Down on the Upside "mainstream". They put some pretty weird (but great) shit on there.

    B.... ....

    Exactly..DOTUS was anything but mainstream...some real cool, experimental, otherworldly shit on that on record :)

  45. 1.... ....

    @ThePower2112 4th of July

  46. M.... W....

    this band is mad good i think that bad motorfinger was there best before they went main stream.... even when they went mainstream they were good

    M.... W....

    They didn't go mainstream. The mainstream came to them

  47. r.... ....

    0:00 - 0:18.....The most fucking EPIC scream ever!!!

  48. r.... j....

    @doom696mented KHANATE

  49. G.... S....

    @tawnikc My 9 year old brother knows about soundgarden and a bunch of other bands, like sabbath, electric wizard and nirvana yadda yadda. Someone has to be a complete idiot to not know about Soundgarden.

  50. S.... H....

    @ThePower2112 Blow Up the Outside World

  51. M.... ....

    @MarkHarrellJr I'm so retarded, I responded to the wrong comment. Sorry outlaw dude! That was meant for ThePower2112!

  52. M.... ....

    @outlawcountryman In my personal opinion, their album "Superunknown" is the best with Badmotorfinger being close behind. But which is best is purely subjective so enjoy according to your own taste!

  53. T.... R....

    who the fuck hasn't heard of Soundgarden?

  54. c.... ....

    @ThePower2112 tighter & tighter

  55. L.... B....

    This is like alice in chains, love it. chris, you're an idol, stop singing over timberland beats and come back to the roots of REAL music!!

    @mentalityljs1 well said

  70. l.... s....

    @ theguy782

    If you didn't know who Soundgarden was until a few months ago, then don't leave a shit ass comment. If you can't hear the resemblances to classic Metal and Rock when u listen to Soundgarden, then I suggest you take a closer listen and compare further down the road. Keep in mind tho when u do, that this was a new generation of music at the time. It's been influenced by the classics. And as far as AiC goes, try listening to Love, Hate, Love, and compare again.

  71. B.... ....
