For God's sake, gotta 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, givin' alibis about the people's money an' things

An' if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me

Yeah, they seen an' heard it but they never had a misery

There are some people who are starvin' to death

Never knew but only heard 'em an' 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

It's crime you're guilty of

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

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

Cut this jive an' see who's got the power

When they run out of it, the world's gonna be a ghost

They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler

Making us a promise so they throw in a few more dollars

There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love

Up goes the price of livin' an' you're right back where you was

So whatever you got, just be glad you got it

Now we're gonna get on up an' 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

For God's sake, you gotta give more...

People, tell 'em what you think about it

Yeah

For God's sake...

So easy but we're too late

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

For God's sake, aren't you listenin' to your people?

Listenin'

It's getting tired, it's getting tired...

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

Please, c'mon now, open up your ears

Give more power to the people, for God's sake

For God's sake, you're really are...

Hear me now

Oh, give more power to the people

Give it
