S.F.A. - Power lyrics

It's a system for the people but we have no say It's a system where the people just get pushed away For a profit, they gentrify our land And the police enforce their will with an iron hand We were born into the system -- we had no choice But we can stand as one people -- with one loud voice They exploit our labor -- For their own greed We've got to fight them back -- For the things we need More people have died of AIDS than in the Vietnam War By the time they fund research it'll be ten times more They spend ten billion on a bomber that doesn't fly While the homeless and the poor just starve and die Their power comes from us -- We take it away We can't afford to wait -- It's got to be today The power is within us -- We can do as we please Far better that we die on our feet Than we live on our knees Every generation had their chance and now it's our turn We've seen their mistakes and I hope we've learned We've got to make a better world at any cost Or the next generation will be just as lost
