Power In The People by ZaphB Lyrics
[Chorus]
When the things we fought for failed us
When the tides come crashing in
There's a power in the people
Who were left to burn within
When our work was turned against us
When they lied and used and tricked
There's a power in the people
Who refused to die with it
[Verse 1]
And the leaders asked for sacrifice
For loyalty and pride
We stood and fell and starved for pеople
Who'd thank us if we died
Thеy demanded our compliance
And they tricked us into form
We stood and fell and worked for people
Who let our bodies burn
[Chorus]
But when things we fought for failed us
When the tides come crashing in
There's a power in the people
Who were left to burn within
When our work was turned against us
When they lied and used and tricked
There's a power in the people
Who refused to live with it
[Post-Chorus]
There's a power in the people
Who were failed at every turn
There's a power in the people
Who let the city burn
There's a power in the people
Who refused to stand the heat
There's a power in the people
Who won't let this hell repeat
There's a power in the people
And there's more of us than them
There's a power in the people
So they best get ready then
There's a power in the people
And we'll stand back-to-back
There's a power in the people
In the red and in the black
When the things we fought for failed us
When the tides come crashing in
There's a power in the people
Who were left to burn within
When our work was turned against us
When they lied and used and tricked
There's a power in the people
Who refused to die with it
[Verse 1]
And the leaders asked for sacrifice
For loyalty and pride
We stood and fell and starved for pеople
Who'd thank us if we died
Thеy demanded our compliance
And they tricked us into form
We stood and fell and worked for people
Who let our bodies burn
[Chorus]
But when things we fought for failed us
When the tides come crashing in
There's a power in the people
Who were left to burn within
When our work was turned against us
When they lied and used and tricked
There's a power in the people
Who refused to live with it
[Post-Chorus]
There's a power in the people
Who were failed at every turn
There's a power in the people
Who let the city burn
There's a power in the people
Who refused to stand the heat
There's a power in the people
Who won't let this hell repeat
There's a power in the people
And there's more of us than them
There's a power in the people
So they best get ready then
There's a power in the people
And we'll stand back-to-back
There's a power in the people
In the red and in the black
