Give It To The People

Ever since the time that I was ten years old

I dream about the way it would be

Mama had me playing on that classical piano

But that was not the music for me

I had my very first introduction

By singing in a local band

I've got my rock and my roll instruction

Playing every club in the land

I made a deal with the angel of music

And I found what you said was true

If you give it to the people like the people want it

They'll give it, they'll give it

They'll give it right back to you

I can't think of anything that I wouldn't do

As long as someone wants me to sing

You don't have to label me a Hollywood hero

Just let me do my RIGHTEOUS thing!

'Cos when the crowd they're just waiting for you

And the lights they check-out okay

There ain't no words to describe the feeling

That everybody's come to hear you play

(Yes I will)

I made a deal with the angel of music

And I learned what it's all about

If you give it to the people like they wanna hear it

They'll let it, they'll let it

They'll let it all hang all night

You know I, you know I made a deal with the angel of music

And I found what she said it was true

If you give it to the people like the people wanted

They'll give it, they'll give it

They'll give it right back to you

FADE:

I made a deal with the angel of music

And I learned what it's all about

If you give it to the people like they wanna hear it
