[Verse 1:]

If you want power, you better mean it

'Cause when you sow it, you've gotta reap it

If you want power, you better mean it

You better mean it

Say you work hard, but I don't see it

And I know now, that's your weakness

You want power, but you don't mean it

No, you don't mean it

[Pre-Chorus:]

I can't lie, I'm a little terrified

If I'm not at your side

How you gonna rectify it?

I don't want to fight

But we don't see eye to eye

And I just can't seem to hide it

[Chorus:]

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

I can't lie, I'm a little terrified

If I'm not at your side

How you gonna rectify?

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

[Verse 2:]

If you want power, you better mean it

Another coward and we don't need it

Say you want power, but you don't mean it

No, you don't mean it

They say you work hard, but I don't see it

You don't live it, you just preach it

Say you want power, but you don't mean it

No, you don't mean it

[Pre-Chorus:]

I can't lie, I'm a little terrified

If I'm not at your side

How you gonna rectify it?

I don't want to fight

But we don't see eye to eye

And I just can't seem to hide it

[Chorus:]

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

I can't lie, I'm a little terrified

If I'm not at your side

How you gonna rectify?

It's a real bad world 'cause of people like you

[Outro:]

It's a real bad world, real bad world, real bad world

'Cause of people like you

It's a real bad world, real bad world, real bad world

'Cause of people like you
