Lyrics
People Power
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.
Well there was Kennedy
And there was King
There was John
There was Jim
They did come, to teach and sing
To save our souls, forgive our sins
Just like Jimi
Paired Up with Jones
So alive in my headphones
They did bring, some kind of peace
And in a sense I got release
There were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people
Well in came Bob, with a different way
Of what the others tried to say
And Mr. Marx and Che
Wanted every man, to just get paid
Like Jesus Christ
Whatever he's called
To live on, he had to fall
Well all he brought
Was a brand new peace
And in a sense I got release
But there were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people
Well in kicked Lee
With a fist of fury
Like Ghandi's
Silent purity
Took out Andy, resins of beans
A martial art, no-one it seems
Its not omit
The Suffregettes
Like Joan of Arc
And a Welsh princess
Mama Cass, Marilyn Monroe
I had suspicions
Now I know
But there were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Give the power to the people now
Give the power
Give the power
Give the power to the people now!
