Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bass, bass, bass, bass
Nasty
Three
With music by our side to break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
This is the test, no struggle, no progress (lend)
Lend a hand to help your brother do his best
Things are getting worse, we have to make them better
It's time to give a damn, let's work together (come on now)
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (One time)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (we can)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
Bass, bass, bass, bass
Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass
Bass, bass, bass, bass, nasty (come on)
Bass, bass, bass, bass (nasty)
(We are the nation) sing it, people, say it, children
Sing it if you want a better way of life
(We are the nation) sing it, people, say it, children
Sing it if you want a better way of life
Nasty

People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!)
We are a part of the rhythm nation
