For God's sake
you got to give more
power to the people
For God's sake
give more power to the people
There's some people up
there hoggin' everything
Tellin' lies and 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 a misery
There are some people
who are starvin' to death
Never knew but 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
you got to give more
power to the people
For God's sake
give more power to the people
Cut this jive and see
who's got the power
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
so they 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
For God's sake
you got to give more
power to the people
For God's sake
gotta give more
power to the people
For God's sake
you got to give more
For God's sake
For God's sake
you got to give more
power to the people
For God's sake
For God's sake
you got to give more
power to the people
give more
power to the people
For God's sake
For God's sake
give more
power to the people
