Story behind the song
It's inspired by 1984 by George Orwell & some RATM songs
Lyrics
Yes, the message speaks clearly to every race of people
The truth exposure burns cause we`re all equal
The prequel has their rope tight around our necks
And the sequel has them keeping us in check
Their cause & effect, we`re not bound to respect
Their laws & nature of being politically correct
Over the horizon lies the bodies of the martyrs
Who fought for human rights like Jimmy Carter
Farther along the path we drag the body casket
The whip cracks the back of the slave holding the basket
We lie in the trenches while our chains they hold
Hear the screams of the people as they echo
[chorus]
Power To Tha People! x4
The body of John Brown lies smoldering in his grave
But his soul lives on in the heart of a slave
His planto arm the unarmed was a disaster
So now we`ll set fire in the home of the master
Rebel as a rebel, I speak as the voice of the voiceless
And stand up for all those who feel choiceless
Just like Mumia continues to speak from his cell
Cause everybody, everywhere has got a story to tell
We`re raising hell in the streets, every woman & man
Singin` "More Power to the People" as our chant
We march through trenches with the chains they hold
Feel the power of our screams as they echo
[Chorus]
Power to the People! x4
//Propaganda//
It`s 1984 & we`re living unorthodox
Their proper propaganda`s got me living inside the box
We`re watched around the clock cause we get no privacy
Our nosey government speaks full of hypocrisy
They watch us on the telescreens & tap our phone calls
Read our mail & messages making us crawl
On our knees cause they`ve got us knee-deep in the system
Betrayal like Judas did with Jesus when he kissed him
We`re heading towards a totalitarianistic state
Where war is peace & ignorance is strength
Freedom is slavery & all truths are lies
What`s real is unreal in the Party`s eyes
They control the present so they control the past
There is no light in the valley of shadows they`ve cast
Orwell`s terror era is gonna come through & come true
The future lies in the mind & the voice within you
