[Verse]
Long time ago
I am sure you know
There was a pulsator generator
That made the current flow
But some big fat cat broke it down
Built a luxury flat
Just like he did all round this town
And that was that

[Chorus]
Power to the people
Right on your doorstep
Power to the people
And the music never slept
Power to the people
I can't go back in time
Power to the people
When you's a friend of mine
