The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah [repeated throughout song]
(Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh...)
If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves
Or what we'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give to the masses
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah/no no no no)
Are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself, or what you'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhhh...
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
("I quit, you... I didn't make it all the way through that...")
