(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People

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 and givin' alibis

About the people's money and things

And if they gonna throw it away

You might as well give some to me

Yeah, they seen and heard it

But they never had a misery

There's some people who are

Starvin' to death

Never knew but they only hate us

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

And see who's got the power

When they're runnin' out of it

The world's gonna be a ghost

They know we're not satisfied

So we begin to holler

Makin' us a promise so they're

Throwin' a few more dollars

There's no price for happiness

There's no price for love

Up goes the price of livin'

And you're right back where you was

So whatever you got

Just be glad you got it

Now we're gonna get on up

And 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

Hey, tell 'em what you think about it

For God's sake

Don't leave it too late

For God's sake

Gotta give more power to the people

For God's sake

Aren't you listenin' to your people now?

Listen up

It's getting tired

It's getting tired, yeah

For God's sake

Give more power to the people

Please

Come on now

Open up your ears

Give more power to the people

For God's sake

For God's sake

You really are? Give me now

Oh, give more power to the people

Give it!
