Lyrics:
Power to the people (oh, hey, hey)\\nPower to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh)\\n\nI've been tired of this thinking (hey)\\nso I've drowned it out with drinking (oh)\\nTastes like a bitter pill but I'll just wash it down\\nWith the taste of something sweet that some doctor gave me now\\nAnd this is a madness\\nI'm not giving in\\n\nWe're shining like diamonds\\nWith fire in our bones\\nStanding beside you I've a feeling that I'll never walk alone\\n\nWe're children of the universe, don't you know\\nDancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own\\nJust children of the universe\\n\nPower to the people (oh, hey, hey)\\nPower to the people (oh, oh, oh, oh)\\nPower to the people (oh, hey, hey)\\nYou know what we want and we've gotta get it now\\n\nSomething's stirring in the silence (hey, hey)\\nAnd it reeks of passive violence (oh)\\nHold on tight this opportunity we'll take, put an end to all this suffering before it gets too late\\nHopes on the horizon\\nI'm not giving in\\n\nWe're children of the universe don't you know\\nDancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own\\nJust children of the universe\\n\nWe're shining like diamonds\\nWith love in our hearts\\nThey said it's the end but I've a feeling \\nIt might just be the start\\nAs I am awakened with fire in my bones\\nStanding beside you I've a feeling that I'll never walk alone\\n\nWe're children of the uni, children of the uni,\\nChildren of the universe don't you know\\nYeah dancing on the edge of time and it's ours to own\\n'Cause we are children of the universe\\nJust children of the universe\\n\nPower to the people
