The Meters

The Meters - People Say

Powers of today
So pretty darn confused
Giving everybody
In the world the blues

Food is getting high
And the fuel is getting low
The rich are getting richer
And the poor are getting poor

People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?
People say, people say
Have I got a right to live?

People say, people say
(What the people say?)
(What the people?)
Have your share and my share
And your share is my share too

Your eyes are blind folded
And your mind controlled
What the powers do to you
Destruction is in the air, oh yeah
