[Verse 1]
Hey, listen people, we're victimized, circumcised
Crossed the line of no return
Critics say they devastate but socialites just masturbate
Won't the losers ever learn?

[Pre-Chorus]
Who said the music's dead in the streets?
(Don't know what they talk about)
Hey, they gotta put a bullet in my head
If they want to keep me down
Let me hear it

[Chorus]
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets (Hey)

[Verse 2]
Mothers tell their sons of cyanide and suicide
Blame it on the devil's tongue
S-s-suck me like a parasite, military Third Reich
Book-burnin' bastards wastin' blood

[Pre-Chorus]
Who said the music's dead in the streets?
(Don't know what they talk about)
Oh yeah
I want my music wakin' up the dead
Don't tell me to turn it down, turn it down
[Chorus]
Power to the music in the streets (Mh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Power to the music in the streets, ow
Power to the music in the streets (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Power to the music in the streets

[Bridge]
Aw, shut up

[Guitar Solo]
Huh
Hey-hey

[Pre-Chorus]
Who said the music's dead in the streets?
(Don't know what they talk about)
I want my music wakin' up the dead
Don't tell me to turn it down, turn it down

[Chorus]
Power to the music in the streets (Yeah, oh, I want it louder)
Power to the music in the streets (Ooh, feel the music)
Power to the music in the streets (Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
Power to the music in the streets (Want it, want it)
Hey
Power to the music in the streets (Turn it up, turn it louder)
Power to the music in the streets (Hey, hey)
[Outro]
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets
Power to the music in the streets
