[Intro]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

[Verse 1]
Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And into the street

[Chorus]
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

[Verse 2]
A million workers working for nothing
You better give them what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town

[Chorus]
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

[Verse 3]
I got to ask you comrades and brothers
How do you treat your own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself

[Chorus][x3]
Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Now, now, now, now

[Outro]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
