For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
|
|
There's some people up there hoggin' everything
|
Tellin' lies, givin' 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 never had misery
|
There are some people who are starvin' to death
|
Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
|
Oh, oh, oh, 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, oh yeah
|
|
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
|
For God's sake, why don't you 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
|
Makin' us a promise and throwin' a few more dollars
|
There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love
|
Up goes the price of livin', and you're right back where you was
|
So whatever you got, just be glad you got it
|
Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it
|
