	    ()                                                  [xxx999]
	For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people

Verse 1:

	 ()                                           
	There's some people up there hoggin' everything
         ()                                                           
	Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things
         ()                                                          
	And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me
         ()                                             
	Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery

	                              
	There are some people who are starvin' to death
                                                 
	Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
	                                            
	Oh, oh, oh, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love
	                                                                 
	You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah

Chorus:

	    ()                                                 
	For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
	    ()                                                 
	For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people

Verse 2:

	Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most
	When they run out of power, the world's gonna be a ghost
	They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
	Makin' us a promise and 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

[repeat chorus]
