People Or Power Lyrics by The Capitalist Kids

Sarah

2012

The people took to the streets down in Cairo
Yesterday Tunisia, maybe tomorrow
Yemen or China or Saudi Arabia
They won their freedom, uncertain fragility
Our leaders here only care for stability
Backing dictators and tyrants throughout the globe
[Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
People or power now?
We invaded countries to bring them "democracy"
Wanton destruction, now it's such a shock to see
Grassroots uprisings that we can't take credit for
They braved the thugs and the tanks and the tear gas
And through it all, they were strong and held steadfast
We marched in safety to show solidarity
[Chorus]
A people only tend to take so much
Then they get to the point where they've had enough
When they speak loud and clear as with one voice
Don't be stupid when you make your choice
[Bridge]
The spirit lives here too in the US
Look at the size of the matters and protests
Beleaguered unions standing up for their rights
A revolution, could it ever happen here?
Nobody knows, but a couple of things are clear
One is we need it, and two is it will take work
[Chorus]
