Lyrics

Fat cat up on a hill,
He don't wanna share the wealth
He says that's the way it is
You gotta play the card that's dealt
What you gonna do when the well runs dry
And your only hope is Uncle Sam?
You better get yourself together right now
You know he don't give a damn

Take the Power
Take the Power

Hollywood is runnin your mind
You wanna be a movie star
Truth is the worlds gone blind
And the only future is war
Blood runs on the streets of Baghdad
On the streets of Kabul
Blood runs in New York City
Don't stop til we take control

Take the Power
Take the Power

Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power

Can't make the ends meet
Cuz I just lost my job
They say that's the way things go
But I'm thinkin somethings wrong
Cuz I try to make a dollar out of 15 cents
Can't get a nickel or a dime
Cuz they nickel and they dime you to Death
Then they charge you for their time

Take the Power
Take the Power

Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power

Can't keep the lights on
Now I can't pay the rent
All my life try to do what's right
But all of my money's spent
They got me voting for a lesser evil
Got me living in fear
When you gonna fight for the world you want
Before all your rights disappear?

Take the Power
Take the Power

Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
Let's take the Power, Power, Power
