Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well get you on your feet
And out on the street singing
Power to the people

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

I gotta 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
