When you're a bunch of sheep, easily policed
Is it any wonder that you get fleeced
The economy's got you on your knees
All your jobs went overseas
It's up to you to make a choice
It's up to you to use your voice
Singing power, power to the people
Power, power to the people
Many recent laws of our great nation
Only benefit multinational corporations
Small farm, small business, small bank account
They will control you or squeeze you out
When you're fed garbage, don't just tamely swallow
They may try to lead
But you don't have to follow
Power, power to the people
Power, power to the people
But don't moan and groan, complain and holler
Use your vote, then vote your dollar
Everyone white and blue collar
Show your power and vote your dollar
What can I do I'm telling you
Be a vigilant consumer or be consumed
Speak the language they understand
A fistful of greenbacks in your hand
Money talks, gold glistens
I guarantee, that'll make em' listen
Power, power to the people
Power, power to the people
You've got to vote your dollar, vote your dollar
Power, power to the people
