Powers of today
So pretty darn confused
Giving everybody
In the world the blues
Food is getting high
And the fuel is getting low
The rich are getting richer
And the poor are getting poor
People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
(What the people say?)
Have your share and my share
And your share is my share too, good God
Your eyes are blind folded
And your mind controlled
What the powers do to you
Destruction is in the air, oh yeah
And when is it going to quit
Somebody end the madness
Gettin' sick and tired of it
People say
(People say, people say)
Have I got a right to live?
(People say, people say)
Have I got a right to live?
(People say, people say)
Ooh, they're robbing and they're stealing
And they're breaking in your home
It's getting a little dangerous
To walk the street alone
Somebody better get on the case
Yeah, good God
The real thing
Got no time to waste
(People say, people say)
Have I got a right to live?
(People say, people say)
Have I got a right to live?
(People say, people say)
(People say, people say)
(People say, people say)
