Written for Danny!
Chorus:
We the people
are the true source of the power
don't ever let them tell you that you're not
We the people
are the true source of the power
Don't ever surrender what you got
V1.
Policeman with his gun
judge with his gown
politicians with their hand out
from the president on down
all you people
who serve the Public Trust
need a civics lesson
your authortiy derives fromus
because
CHORUS
V2.
We the people
are the true source of the power
no matter what the polticians say
we the people
are the true source of the power
the Bill of Rights is not for sale today
To form a more perfect union
we must all come together
from all across the land
every type of person
no matter if you're rich or poor
or the colour of your skin
it's time we showed the powerful
the power of the citizen
chorus
Breakdown
You might be feeling powerless
locked out and alone
you might feel that there ain't athing
you can do on your own.
you gotta stop
you gotta rise up
stand up
stand up and be counted
Let them see your numbers
if you believe in peace and dignity
there's beauty in our liberty
show them that you're strong
show them that you're not alone
show them that this aint no joke
get up off your ass and vote (ed: that's danny's edit :-)
Chorus
