(For God`s Sake) Give More Power To The People
(Eugene Record)

Intro:

synths - 8 bars over F

Partial chorus:

(F) F9 [xxx999]
For God`s sake, you got to give more power to the people

Verse 1:

(F) F9
There`s some people up there hoggin` everything
(F) F9
Tellin` lies, givin` alibis about the people`s money and things
(F) F9
And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me
(F) F9
Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery

C B
There are some people who are starvin` to death
C B
Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
C B
Oh, oh, oh, if you don`t have enough to eat, how can you think of love
C B A
You don`t have the time to care so it`s crime you`re guilty of, oh yeah

Chorus:

(F) F9
For God`s sake, you got to give more power to the people
(F) F9
For God`s sake, why don`t you give more power to the people

Verse 2:

Cut this jive and 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
Makin` us a promise and throwin` a few more dollars

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

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus w/wordless vocals (2X)]

[repeat chorus; fade 4th time]

(3: got to have it... more power)
