People Power - The Anderson Shelter

Well there was Kennedy, and there was King
There was John, and there was Jim
They did come, to teach and sing
To save our souls, forgive our sins
Just like Jimmy, kept up with Jones
They're so alive in my headphones
Well they did bring, some kind of peace
An inner sense of pure release,

★But there were others with different ideas,
Who run the world with paranoia and fear,
They'll buy the slaughter of a sacred cow,
To try and herd us up like cattle somehow

Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off this old cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off this old cash cow

Power, People, Now
Power, People, Now
Power, People, Now
Power, People

In came Bob, with a different way
Of what the others tried to say
Like Mr.Marx, and Che
Wanted everyman to just get paid
Like Jesus Christ, or whatever he's called
To live on, he had fall
Well all he brung, was a brand of peace,
An inner sense of pure release

★repeat

Well in kicked Lee, with a fist of fury
Like Gandhi's, silent purity
They took out Andy, for his tins of beans
A martial art, no-one had seen
Must not omit, the suffragettes
LIke Joan of Arc, and our Welsh princess,
Mama Cass, Marilyn Monroe
I had suspicions, well now I know

But there were others with different ideas,
Who run the world with paranoia and fear,
They'll buy the slaughter of a sacred cow,
To try and herd us up like cattle somehow

Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off this old cash cow
Give the power to the people now
Time for us to kill off this old cash cow

Give the power,
Give the power,
Give the power to the people now.
