(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People

(album: (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People - 1971)

For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people

There's some people up there hogging everything
Telling lies, giving 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 starving to death
Never knew but only hate us, and they never had happiness
Ohoho, 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

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?

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 were not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Making us a promise and throwing a few more dollars

There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love
Up goes the price of living, 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, oh yeah

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?

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?

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?

For God's sake, you got to have it, more power
For God's sake, you got to have it, more power

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?

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?
