We the people have the power to choose.       D – F#m – Bm – A
We the people have the will to refuse       D – F#m – Bm – A
All the murder, torture, poison and grime,       D – F#m – Bm – A
Looters, polluters, their environmental crimes.       D – F#m – Bm – A
We the people have the power to use.       D – F#m – Bm – A

We the people have the voices to talk.
We the people have the numbers to stop
The wars, the sanctions, the brutality,
Propaganda, lies, all their inhumanity.
We the people, have the power in us.

We the people, must have the courage to stand.
We the people have the right to demand
Retire the empire and its police state,
Defiance, no compliance with their fascist dictates.
We the people, have the power in us.

Ain’t no indecision by some heartless politician       G
Gonna keep our bus from coming to town.       F#m – G
Ain’t no intoxication by some greedy corporation       G
Gonna keep the people’s movement down – We have the power in us.       F# – A

We the people have the vision to see.
We the people have the spirit to be
A force on a course to a new reality,
Right here in the fight for real democracy.
We the people have the power in us.

Ain’t no lobby lawyer, or modern-day exploiter
Gonna keep the truth from coming to light.
Ain’t no distraction by the preachers of inaction
Gonna stem this tide for human rights –

We have the power in us, you and me,
We have the power in us.
