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
