For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people

There's some people up there hogging everything
Telling lies and giving alibis
About the people's money and things
And if they gonna throw it away
Might as well give some to me
Yeah, they seen and heard it
But they never had misery

There are some people who are starving to death
Never knew but they only hate us
And they never had happiness
If you don't have enough to eat
How can you think of love?
You don't have the time to care
So it's crime you're guilty of

For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people

Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most
When they run out of power
The world's gonna be a ghost
They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Making us a promise and throwing a few more dollars

There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love
Up goes the price of living
And you're right back where you were
So whatever you got, just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it

For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake, gotta give more power to the people
