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 (whoo)
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 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
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life (sing)
We are a part of the rhythm nation (rhythm)
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
