The Power

draw back the shades of your
hallow home
fill it with choices. bring out your
voices
and leave not one trace, but don't
hesitate
don't throw out the baby... you
know what i mean
we are the power, the people, the
peace
we have rights we will not, not
release
with our fists held high no retreat
we are our own masterpiece
and take back the town, let them
know we're not down
down with this folly: state of
emergency
no, no one owns the free in this
mock-democracy
you heard it right, we ain't down.
we're taking back the town
we are the power, the people, the
peace
we have rights we will not, not
release
we don't accept what you money
mongers wage
oh shame, shame, shame, shame,
shame
and don't forget the day or it'll all
wash away
i'm talking about work days,
sundays, and saturdays
and don't forget the fathers, sons,
mothers, daughters
gave their lives to make those
conditions safe
we are the power, the people, the
peace
we have rights we will not, not
release
we are weary, yes, but we are
strong
we are one and we are right where
we belong
we are the power, the people, the
peace
we have rights we will not, not
release
we are weary, yes, but we are
strong
we are one and we are right where
we belong
we are one and we are right where
we belong
we are one and we are right where
we belong
