[chorus:]
rock you house you turn the fire up takin' over
rock you house you people get strong
rock you house you time to take the weight off
our shoulder rock you house you people move on

and yes it's time to grow
spent enough time to know
to believe in you is blind
you only tell us lies

so now that we've agreed
it's time to end your greed
the unanimous decision is to rock you

[chorus]

you shake a million hands
make a million plans
then give a promise to the poor
and millions a war

we tried to beg and plead
still you ignore our needs
so the only way to teach you is to rock you

[chorus]

when i think about the babies' eyes longing from hunger
it makes me wanna cry, cry, cry
then the situation of our mothers and our brothers,
well i know, i know
we can make it better

[chorus]

to the nations telling lies to the brothers down the block
to the power on the street
to the critics on my jock
shut up and dance!!

[chorus]

set the record straight right here and say
set the record straight right here and say

[chorus]
