What's the matter with you?
Don't you see what's going around?
It's the powers that wanna be
Bringing you down
Using you just like a top
Killing off your brothers, mothers, sisters
And laughing as they drop
Fall into the ground, vanishing like dust
Using your blood for game to achieve
It's the money that they lust
Monetary gain, it's a little thing
Trying to clock a G, but never offering
Any help to the fellow man
Something which I fail to understand
It's you for you and me for me
But that's not the way it's meant to be
What's the matter with you?
Don't you see what's going around?
It's the powers that wanna be
Constantly bringing you down
You better see nobody's fault but my own
You better see nobody's fault but my own
The Doctor Martin Luther King once said
And I also read
We hold these truths self-evident
But what's evident is there's someone
Constantly raising my rent
Dragging me to the bank, trying to pull rank
I think there must have been something
Strange in the water they drank
It's obvious they've lost their minds
But I think they've had enough time
So I'm here to say mine
And to give the caution sign
But what's the matter with you?
Don't you see what's going around?
It's the powers that wanna be
Constantly bringing you down
You better see nobody's fault but my own
You better see nobody's fault but my own
Hey, what are you waiting for?
Another man to open the door for you?
Get real, check this out 'cause here's the deal
Stop fronting and faking
Get with this, stop getting taken advantage of
'Cause you're coming soft like a dove
But what's the matter with you?
Don't you see what's going around?
It's the powers that wanna be
That are constantly bringing you down
You better see nobody's fault but my own
You better see nobody's fault but my own
What's the matter with you?
Don't you see what's going around?
It's the powers that wanna be
Constantly bringing you down
