People power

Well there was Kennedy
And there was King
There was John
There was Jim
They did come, to teach and sing
To save our souls, forgive our sins
Just like Jimi
Paired Up with Jones
So alive in my headphones
They did bring, some kind of peace
And in a sense I got release

There were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow

Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow

Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people

Well in came Bob, with a different way
Of what the others tried to say
And Mr. Marx and Che
Wanted every man, to just get paid
Like Jesus Christ
Whatever he's called
To live on, he had to fall
Well all he brought
Was a brand new peace
And in a sense I got release

But there were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow

Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow

Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people, now
Power, people

Well in kicked Lee
With a fist of fury
Like Ghandi's
Silent purity
Took out Andy, resins of beans
A martial art, no-one it seems
Its not omit
The Suffregettes
Like Joan of Arc
And a Welsh princess
Mama Cass, Marilyn Monroe
I had suspicions
Now I know

But there were others with different ideas
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear
By the slaughter of a sacred cow
To try and herd the supply, cattle, somehow

Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow

Give the power to the people now
Give the power to the people now
Give the power
Give the power
Give the power to the people now!
