  • 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, right on

    Say we want a revolution
    We better get on right away
    Well you get on your feet
    Into the street

    Singing power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people, right on

    A million workers working for nothing
    You better give 'em what they really own
    We got to put you down
    When we come into town

    Singing power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people, right on

    I got to ask you comrades and brothers
    How do you treat you own woman back home?
    She got to be herself
    So she can free herself

    Singing power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people, right on
    Now, now, now, now, now

    Oh well, power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people, right on

    Yeah, power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Power to the people, right on

    Power to the people
    Power to the people
    Oh well, power to the people
    Power to the people (power to the people, right on)
    Oh well, power to the people
    Power to the people
    Oh well Writer/s: John Lennon

  • Real Curious from NevadaIt’s been played at The Bernie Sanders and AOC (Bernie-Man and AOCochella) rallies against oligarchy.

    The lyrics are not right on sites I have look at. It sounds like he is singing “a million women working for nothin’”, but they have “workers working for nothing”

    And the last two lines I always see ”she got to be herself so she can free herself”, but the last part sounds like he is singing “so she can inhale dope’ maybe I’m tripping’, tho.
