Power to the People Lyrics
Power to the People
Power to the people
When I was born they covered me up
Made me feel guilty
Then they gave me a cup
They called me a beggar
I grew up a thief
Religious flowers planted all under my feet
To make me feel inferior they gave me a name
And a bucket of white paint so I could play that game
When I feel in love they called it sin
Gave me a book on Europe and a Mickey Mouse pin
I joined the tough mob called society
But I couldn't make the grade
I was allergic to the Christmas tree
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
I joined the Boy Scouts and read patriotic poems
About the Jolly Green Giant flipping out of his home
They caught me tripping on EST
So they jailed me for thinking about what I wanted to be
A little fat lady with beer on her breath
Cursed and yelled that I should be hung by the neck to death
Santa Claus freed me when I was sixteen
So in his honor I painted myself green
I woke up one morning all ready to lose
When I heard mother goose out there singing them blues

I discovered Malcolm and Brother H Rap
And in return the FBI was sitting in my lap
I got the message loud and clear
That in the mirror that was me standing there
The greedy lips and those glutton eyes
Are going to have to wake up for now is the time
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
