Power to the People Lyrics

Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people

Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

They say you want a revolution
We better get on it right away
You better get on your feet
And head to the street, saying

[Chorus:]
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people, right on

You got a million people working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When you come into town, saying

[Chorus]

I really gotta ask my brothers
How do you treat your woman
When you get back home?
She got to be herself
So she can free herself

[Chorus]

Power, give 'em power
Give more people power
Extra hour for power
More open power
Free yourself, come on, just free yourself

Yo, give more power
Power, power, power
Power, give more power
Free yourself, come on, just free yourself, yo

[Chorus x3]

Let's Get Retarded

Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people

Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

They say you want a revolution
We better get on it right away
You better get on your feet
And head to the street, saying

[Chorus:]
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people (Power, give 'em power)
Power to the people, right on

You got a million people working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When you come into town, saying

[Chorus]

I really gotta ask my brothers
How do you treat your woman
When you get back home?
She got to be herself
So she can free herself

[Chorus]

Power, give 'em power
Give more people power
Extra hour for power
More open power
Free yourself, come on, just free yourself

Yo, give more power
Power, power, power
Power, give more power
Free yourself, come on, just free yourself, yo

[Chorus x3]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
