Power to the People!

Will they hold it?

Vote cash money

All ready sold it.


Power to the People!

Will they see?

You’ve got to get off the couch

Election Day.

Democracy.


Power to the People!

Put down the remote,

The joystick

The beer

The keyboard

The smoke.


Power to the People!

Hold it in your hands.

Leaders take the lead.

Make demands.

Accountability

Transparency

Real representation

That’s what’s essential

Throughout this great nation.



Power to the People!

No fairy godmother with magic to fix it. 

The magic is called a vote so get out and use it!

A phone, call a letter, to let them know how you feel.

It is only then that the people's power can be real.

No more excuses take the power in hand.

Put  time and money where your heart is 

No more burying your head in the sand

Run for office make a stand

And you'll see

Power goes back to the people

Freedom isn't free

Democracy.
