Give More Power To The People"
(Eugene Record)
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
Verse 1:
(F#) B9
There's some people up there hoggin' everything
(F#) B9
Tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things
(F#) B9
And if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me
(F#) B9
Yeah they seen and heard it, but never had misery
F# E
There are some people who are starvin' to death
F# E
Never knew but only hate us [?], and they never had happiness
F# E
Oh, oh, oh, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you think of love
F# E D
You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah
Chorus:
(F#) B9
For God's sake, you got to give more power to the people
(F#) B9
For God's sake, why don't you give more power to the people
Verse 2:
Cut this jive and see who's got the power to kill the most
When they run out of power, the world's gonna be Dm ghost
They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
Makin' us Dm promise and throwin' Dm few more dollars
There's no price for happiness, there's no price for love
Up goes the price of livin', and you're right back where you was
So whatever you got, just be glad you got it
Now we're gonna get on up and get some more of it
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus w/wordless vocals (2X)]
[repeat chorus; fade 4th time]
(3: got to have it... more power)

Power to the Cambodian people!!! NOW!!!
From 1975 to 1979,
Pol Pot gave the power to the people,
the power to kill and we know what was happened..
7:49 PM, you have a very warped sense of history. You need to read a little bit more.
My dear Heng Soy, there's a John Lennon track called 'Power to the People' or something to that effect.
Would you be able to post it to accompany this series by Khmer Democrat? Thanks.
I wonder when Pol Pot was in power, where were Sam Rainsy and his supporters. Where were the UN. Why no one come to help us, why no one demand power for the people when millions were enslaved and murder at will.
Khmer Rouge shut off news inside country and outside the world.
I was of the understanding that "Rule by law" was what the people wanted in Cambodia. What if the mob are wrong in their Power to use it unlawfully?
