The Chi-Lites

For God's Sake, Give More Power To The People

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

There's some people up there hoggin' everything

Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the peoples, money an' things

An' if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me

Yeah, they seen an' heard it but never had misery

There are some people who are starvin' to death

Never knew but only heard 'em an' they never had happiness

If you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love?

You don't have time to care, so it's crime you're guilty of

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 an' 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 we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler

They give us a promise an' throw in a few more dollars

There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love

Up goes the price of livin' an' you're right back where you was

So whatever you got, just be glad you got it

Now we're gonna get on up an' get some more of it

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, got to have it, more power

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

For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people?

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

For God's sake, why don't you try it? Yeah, power, power

For God's sake, can't deny it, no, no, no, power, power

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 power, power?

For God's sake, you got to give
