[Chorus]
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power

[Verse 1]
Know what you took from me
Know what you stole from me
Know what you took from me
Know what you stole from me
One day, they'll come for you
One day, they'll come for you
And on that day, ooh
And on that day, ooh

[Chorus]
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power

[Verse 2]
No, I cannot relate
This place was never great
I hit the timpani
And let the people sing
One day, they'll come for you
One day, they'll come for you
And may the needles
Fall where they may, ooh

 [Chorus]
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power

[Verse 3]
I am the heater, I am the fire
I am the carrier of this empire
I am forever, indigo father
Born in an era with infinite knowledge
Come with me, partner, come with me, partner
I'll take you higher, no elevators
Now is the time, there will never be later
You hear the whisper, you are the savior (Take back the power)
Tell me your wishes, all your desires
I will provide them, I will deliver (Take back the power)
All of the gold and the diamond and silver
I am the sun and the moon and the river
Heaven on earth, Hell down below us
It is all ours, it is all ours
Go tell a friend we gon' take back the power
Go tell a friend we gon' take back the power

[Chorus]
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
Take back the power
