Well there was Kennedy 
And there was King 
There was John 
There was Jim 
They did come,to teach and sing 
To save our souls,forgive our sins 
Just like Jimmy 
Paired Up with Jones 
So alive in my headphones 
They did bring,some kind of peace 
And in a sense of pure release 
        C       C/B     A       
There were others with different ideas 
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear 
        F               D       
By the slaughter of a sacred cow 
To try and herd the supply,cattle,somehow 
                G
Give the power to the people now
D               C 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow 
Give the power to the people now 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow

Well in came Bob,with a different way 
Of what the others tried to say 
And Mr.Marx and Che 
Wanted every man,to just get paid 
Like Jesus Christ 
Whatever he's called 
To live on,he had to fall 
Well all he brung 
Was a brand new peace 
And in a sense of pure release 

But there were others with different ideas 
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear 
By the slaughter of a sacred cow 
To try and herd the supply,cattle,somehow 
Give the power to the people now 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow 

Give the power to the people now 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow 

Power,people,now 
Power,people,now 
Power,people,now 
Power,people 

Well in kicked Lee 
With a fist of fury 
Like Ghandi's 
Silent purity 
Took out Andy, for his tins of beans 
A martial art, won it seems 
Its not omit 
The suffragettes 
Like Joan of Arc 
And a Welsh princess 
Mama Cass,Marilyn Manroe 
I had suspicions 
Now i know 

But there were others with different ideas 
Ruled the world with paranoia and fear 
By the slaughter of a sacred cow 
To try and herd the supply,cattle,somehow 
Give the power to the people now 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow 

Give the power to the people now 
Time for us to kill off the soul cash cow 
Give the power to the people now 
Give the power to the people now 
Give the power 
Give the power 
Give the power to the people now!
