• The People & The Power

Now back in the beginning when the ape became a man
'Round about the time when no-one thought of owning land
Livin' wasn't easy but at least a man was free
Free to make his life the way he thought his life should be
Now the people don't have the power to change things anymore

Now some men got together came a meeting came a plan
To try to find a leader who would help his fellow man
And out of that first meeting came the first of all the fools
The men produced the power and the fool produced the rules
Now the people don't have the power to change things anymore

Now the fool invented money then came taxes that he raised
To get himself more power in so many subtle ways
The taxes raised an army and the army did its thing
To keep the people quiet when the fool became the king
Now the people don't have the power to change things anymore

Now the fool he killed so much the people cut off his fool head
And voted in a parliament of people power they said
The king they had beheaded but they'd left it way too late
Religion and big businesses now ruled the people's fate
Now the people don't have the power to change things anymore

Well it's a real free country
As long as I don't step out of line
You're just a long haired agitator
I'm just a normal everyday guy
Well you can vote in an election
And vote for one of the three stooges
Why don't you be a politician
I haven't got a million bucks to spare
The people don't have the power to change things anymore

Now from the people comes the power from the power comes the wealth
The wealth produces rich men and the rich are in good health
The rich produce the fighting in the trenches full of mud
The rich men give the bullets and the people give the blood
No the people don't have the power to change things anymore
