Takin' It To The Streets
Verse 1
Rich man, poor man
Good cop, bad cop and a criminal
In an interrogation room
Sweet old lady, mean teenage girl
Who thinks the world revolves around her
Let me tell you that it does not
It never has and it never will
That is the way things are
Don't get angry at me
I've got a message for all of you
So listen very closely
Life is what you want it to be
Verse 2
Illegal alien, undocumented worker
Or whatever they call you
Stop hiding in the shadows
Tell the nation that you are here
And you refuse to leave
Demand equal rights
If the authorities don't handle the drug problem
In your neighbourhood
Start a community coalition
That will drive the dealers out of there
Once and for all
Power exist in every one of us
Bridge 1
Stand up for what you believe in
Protect anything that is endangered
If you think politicians and the police
Will always be there for you
Then you are foolishly mistaken
Bridge 2
Special interests and lobbyists are powerful
Because we allow them to be
It's time that we stop complaning
We have to act now for the best interest of all
Everything you do or don't do affects everyone
Because we are all connected
If you don't believe me
Well you have the right not to
I'm just telling you how I see things
Chorus 1
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy
Chorus 2
I'm takin' it to the streets
Everyone will hear what I have to say
This is our world
So we must reclaim democracy
The sooner, the better
Let it spread like a wildfire
The world is what you want it to be
