lyrics

If tyranny and oppression
Weren't already in this land
It’s a matter of perspective
And I had to start somewhere

All that you’ve got is a little bit of power
No need to debate it
All that you’ve got is a little bit of power
If you demonstrate it
All that you’ve got is a little bit of power
Adjust and reframe it
All that you’ve got is a little bit of power
But you’ve got to claim it

An uninterrupted moment
Common sense might own it
No reason to stone it

So if you’ve a reasonable doubt
That we’re all equally troubled
Don’t keep it a secret
Call out the kleptocratic class!
