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
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
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

Led Sabbath
or Black Zeppelin
This song sounds like Black Sabbath...
They wish
Yes! Yes, Boss Chris!
RIP Chris Cornell. Gone but never forgotten!!
Chris, you will never be forgotten, we knew you through your music and it will live forever. Love you always!
You were King my love, King of Grunge! #justiceforchris!

Lyrics
Ah,

Ah,
Yeah,
Hmm
Yeah
I want to be
A cowboy star
Upon the screen
Yeah
I want to drive
My cowboy car
Across the screen
Oh
Hey
And
I want to write
The magazines
The housewives read
Yeah
Oh
Hey
And,
I want to be
In control of everything
I want to be king
I want to be king
I want to
Make the toys
You buy for
Christmas Eve
Yeah
And I
I want to be
The father of
The ethnic child
Who stars on T.V.
Oh yeah
And I,
I want to write
The magazines

Oh

I said,
Oh God
I know want I want
And I need
Oh I need
Yeah
I wanna be king
I wanna be king,
Yes
I do
I wanna be king
I wanna be king
At times Chris sounds here like Scott Reagers of Saint Vitus
Which is good
Very good
I know Kim is a big Saint Vitus fan. Even Alice in Chains shares many similarities with Saint Vitus, especially the Wino era.
A WANA BE GAYYYYY YAY
best SG song ever!!!
¿Eres tú...black sabbath?
shh cállese, viejo feo
"Maybe now the pope will bow and kiss my ring." Lyrically alone this song owns.
TheImmortalCheneys that's always been my favorite line in this song.
He definitely was a king R.I.P chris cornell. And this is a very underrated soundgarden song
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.
Can someone tell me what he says from 3:18 to 3:27?
decider 420 “I swear to God I know what I want and I need, oh I need”
Man that intro gets me every time
Verdade man
There best song

GOAT Soundgarden song. RIP Chris
rip Chris Cornell
I keep mishearing this as "i wanna be gay" lol
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 -
he 100% says "I wanna be gay" at least a couple of times
Add one more to the list
OMG me too 😂
You hear as it applies to ya. Chris can be wuteva he wants😍
Black Sabbath's guitar tune... Robert Plants style in singing... Drums like Deep.... Shit, It's soundgarden, not Black Sabbath + Deep Purple + Led Zeppelin
gotta have some "Loud Love" for this fucking grunge band !!!
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.
This album i personally liked his vocals the best.RIP
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.........
no thanks
Never could sing the intro Morrison was one dimensional with his voice
Morrison was awesome but not in Cornell's league
I wanna be Queen...
grunge carajo q voz d este criss
let me drown, room a thousand years wide, mail man, head down... wow what a great band is soundgarden.. incredible music
How do you figure?
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
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.
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.
Couldn't be any more perfect lol
(First 2 albums, that is)
Try listening to junkhead by Alice in Chains. Similar vibe, another great band
But this song came first, so Alice in chains' song: Junkhead was directly influenced by Soundgarden.
It's just both bands have some Sabbath/Zeppelin influence, that's why some songs sound similar.
vocal melody sounds like dirt by alice in chains too
Lmao!!!! Same! x
nothing to say
this scream in the beginning.... just fucking amazing
lol. sorry but at the end he says " i want to be king" and i thought he said "i want to be gay" "gaaaeeeaayy"
ya, I think he did
@outlawcountryman no attention is a ripper of a track
@ThePower2112 OUTSHINED
RUSTY CAGE
WITH MY GOOD EYE CLOSED
Heyyy check out my channel!!
@Arabspwn711 I wouldn't really call everything on Down on the Upside "mainstream". They put some pretty weird (but great) shit on there.
Exactly..DOTUS was anything but mainstream...some real cool, experimental, otherworldly shit on that on record :)
@ThePower2112 4th of July
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
They didn't go mainstream. The mainstream came to them
0:00 - 0:18.....The most fucking EPIC scream ever!!!
@doom696mented KHANATE
@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.
@ThePower2112 Blow Up the Outside World
@MarkHarrellJr I'm so retarded, I responded to the wrong comment. Sorry outlaw dude! That was meant for ThePower2112!
@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!
who the fuck hasn't heard of Soundgarden?
@ThePower2112 tighter & tighter
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!!
listen to head creeps
@theguy782 You suck.
this songs makes me feel apathic, lazy and in need of a joint !
@LqrDrnkr757 if grunge is like the psychedelic rock of the 90s, what the fuck is stoner metal? lol
"i wanna be gay"...?
@ThePower2112 Fuck ya dude...no band sounds like these guys
This is a Great album... I think it won the grammy that year.
Aic+Soundgarden and Tad= best of Seattle scene.
@ThePower2112 Gun by soundgarden
@outlawcountryman fuck yeah! thanks man
@ThePower2112

jesus christ pose

aynone wanna recommend any song by this band? or any song by any band like this band? this shits fucking GNARLY hahhahaha damn like hand of doom
holy shit found this almost completely by accident...shit rips hard hahaha damn that shits sick
@mentalityljs1 well said
@ 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.
@riptorn311 yes
Now THAT is fu@king range! Him screaming at the beginning...Damn...
i want to be the father of the ethnic child who stars on tv
