Power To The People
Empowerment Anthem: Purple Dawn's Call for Change
Lyrics
Talk about those ghetto scenes
Talking about the challenging situations in impoverished urban areas.
Slums and things that won't be seen
Referring to the struggles and hardships that remain unnoticed or ignored.
On your colour TVs radios at your home
Highlighting the contrast between the harsh realities and the comfort of home entertainment.
Politician come on strong
Criticizing assertive politicians who make promises.
Four years long you can be strong
Emphasizing the need for strength and endurance over a political term.
But just keep counting numbers in your head
Commenting on the futility of merely counting achievements without addressing real issues.
Power to the People
Expressing a call for empowerment for the general population.
Yes Sir
An affirmation or acknowledgment of the call for power.
I know you don't want it
Acknowledging the reluctance of the audience to embrace empowerment.
You're afraid to get burned
Suggesting fear of negative consequences as a reason for reluctance.
Suffragettes and anarchists
Mentioning various groups historically fighting for societal change and justice.
Socialists and feminists
Listing diverse ideologies and movements advocating for social change.
They all are fighting for your poor souls with their lifes
Highlighting the sacrifices made by activists for the betterment of society.
You are stuck in the livingroom
Describing the audience as passive and detached from societal progress.
Progressive thoughts will never bloom
Suggesting a lack of receptiveness to new and progressive ideas.
You just shrug and keep on watching trash TV
Condemning the audience's indifference while indulging in trivial entertainment.
Power to the People
Reiterating the call for empowerment for the people.
Yes Sir
Reaffirming acknowledgment or agreement with the call for power.
I know you don't want it
Restating the audience's hesitancy to embrace empowerment.
You're afraid to get burned
Reiterating the fear of negative consequences as a barrier to empowerment.
Power to the people right here and now
Stressing the urgency of empowering the people at the present moment.
Power to the People
Repeating the call for power to the people.
Yes Sir
Reaffirming acknowledgment or agreement with the call for power.
I know you don't want it
Restating the audience's hesitancy to embrace empowerment.
You're afraid to get burned
Reiterating the fear of negative consequences as a barrier to empowerment.
