"(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People" lyrics - JOSS STONE

[Intro:]
Hey, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Hmm
Ha-ha-ha
Hey, now

[Chorus:]
For God's sake
Gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake
Give more power to the people

There's some people up there hoggin' everything
Tellin' lies and givin' alibis about the people's money and things
And if they gonna throw it away, you might as well give some to me
Yeah, they seen and heard it, but they never had a-misery

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
There's some people who are
Starvin' to death
Never knew but only hate us
And never had happiness
If you don't have enough to eat
How can you think of love?
You don't have the time to care
It's crime you're guilty of

[Chorus:]
For God's sake
You gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake
Give more power to the people

Cut this jive and see who's got the power
When they run out of it, the world's gonna be a ghost
They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Makin' us a promise so they throw in a few more dollars

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
There's no price for happiness
There's no price for love
Up goes the price of livin'
And you're right back where you was
So whatever you got
Just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up
And get some more of it

[Chorus:]
For God's sake
Gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake
Gotta give more power to the people

[Post-Chorus:]
For God's sake, oh
You gotta give more
Pete, tell 'em what you think about it
Hey, yeah
For God's sake
Don't leave it too late
Oh

[Chorus:]
For God's sake
Gotta give more power to the people
For God's sake
Aren't you listening to the people now?
Listen up
It's getting tired
It's gettin' tired, yeah
For God's sake
Give more power to the people
Please, come on now
Open up your ears
Mm-hmm, mm, mm-hmm, uh
Give more power to the people
For God's sake, hey
For God's sake
You really are [?]
Eh-hey, yeah
Oh, give more power to the people
Mm, give it
