(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!
