For Gods sake, you got to give more power to the people Theres some people up there hoggin everything Tellin lies, givin alibis about the peoples 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 dont have enough to eat, how can you think of love You dont have the time to care so its crime youre guilty of, oh yeah For Gods sake, you got to give more power to the people For Gods sake, why dont you give more power to the people Cut this jive and see whos got the power to kill the most When they run out of power, the worlds gonna be a ghost They know were not satisfied, so we begin to holler Makin us a promise and throwin a few more dollars Theres no price for happiness, theres no price for love Up goes the price of livin, and youre right back where you was So whatever you got, just be glad you got it Now were gonna get on up and get some more of it
