Lyrics

[Chorus]
For God's sake
You got to give more power to the people
[Verse 1]
There's some people up there hoggin' everything
Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people money and things
And if they gonna throw it away
Might as well give some to me
Yeah they seen and hear 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh, 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
They give us a promise
And throw in a few more dollars
There's no price for hapiness
There's no price for love
Up goes the price of livin'
And you're right back where you was
So, so whatever you got
Just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up
And get some more of it
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
For God's sake
Got to have it, more power
For God's sake
You got to have it, more power
For God's sake
Why don't you give more power to the people
