Give The People What They Want (AKA Freedom For The People) Songtext
Ooh, well, well
Give the people
Give the people, whoa
Give the people what they want
They want justice
Give the people what they want
They want freedom, yes
Give the people what they want
They want love inside now
Give the people what they want
They want equal rights
Look how long you been trying to breathe, well
Look how long you′ve been trying your mockery
Tried it from the first generation
You spread the germ of sinfulness
Upon this here land, but no
Just can't work
No longer
Just can′t work
No more
Just can't work
No longer my friends
So here me say:
Give the people what they want
They want justice
Give the people what they want
They want love inside
Oh won't you keep them down
Keep them down
Keep them down
Oh won′t you give them
Look how long we′ve been-a fighting
Look how long you've been fighting
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come and you′re gonna pay
Oh well, oh well,
But I'm gonna give you one last warning
So change
So give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
They want justice, oh well
Give the people what they want
They want love inside
Give the people what they want
They want freedom, oh well
Give them
So won′t you give them now
Won't you give them
Give them, oh give them
Oh give them the love
Give them, oh give them
Oh give them the love
That they need
Oh well
Give the people what they want
They want justice
Give the people
Give the people, whoa
Give the people what they want
They want justice
Give the people what they want
They want freedom, yes
Give the people what they want
They want love inside now
Give the people what they want
They want equal rights
Look how long you been trying to breathe, well
Look how long you′ve been trying your mockery
Tried it from the first generation
You spread the germ of sinfulness
Upon this here land, but no
Just can't work
No longer
Just can′t work
No more
Just can't work
No longer my friends
So here me say:
Give the people what they want
They want justice
Give the people what they want
They want love inside
Oh won't you keep them down
Keep them down
Keep them down
Oh won′t you give them
Look how long we′ve been-a fighting
Look how long you've been fighting
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come and you′re gonna pay
Oh well, oh well,
But I'm gonna give you one last warning
So change
So give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
They want justice, oh well
Give the people what they want
They want love inside
Give the people what they want
They want freedom, oh well
Give them
So won′t you give them now
Won't you give them
Give them, oh give them
Oh give them the love
Give them, oh give them
Oh give them the love
That they need
Oh well
Give the people what they want
They want justice
