        C#                                        B                         A
        You don't have the time to care so it's crime you're guilty of, oh yeah

Chorus:

            (F#)                                                 F#9

        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 a ghost
        They know we're not satisfied, so we begin to holler
        Makin' us a promise and throwin' a 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
