Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people -'cause the power of the people don't stop…
When they try to make us pay for their profits
We'll be banging our pots and pans
We're taking to the streets and the world is on our side
'cause we are Argentina and they are the shameful Enron
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
When they try to put a price tag on our world
We'll sure as hell retaliate
Another world is possible and we will create it
'Cause we are 6 billion – and they are.. only G8.
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
We are the many and they are the few
As they continue to put profits before human need
And destroy our planet with their wars
People around the world
Are going to organize to shut 'em down
World Bank Shut it down!
IMF Shut it down!
WTO Shut it down!
NATO We're going to shut it down!
WEF Shut it down!
G8 Shut it down!
When they try to meet in our backyards,
What do we do?
Shut them down!
Because there
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
'Cause the power of the people don't stop…
Ain't no power like the power of the people -'cause the power of the people don't stop…
When they try to make us pay for their profits
We'll be banging our pots and pans
We're taking to the streets and the world is on our side
'cause we are Argentina and they are the shameful Enron
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
When they try to put a price tag on our world
We'll sure as hell retaliate
Another world is possible and we will create it
'Cause we are 6 billion – and they are.. only G8.
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
We are the many and they are the few
As they continue to put profits before human need
And destroy our planet with their wars
People around the world
Are going to organize to shut 'em down
World Bank Shut it down!
IMF Shut it down!
WTO Shut it down!
NATO We're going to shut it down!
WEF Shut it down!
G8 Shut it down!
When they try to meet in our backyards,
What do we do?
Shut them down!
Because there
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop,
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop…
'Cause the power of the people don't stop…

Lyrics by Sara Marlowe
Album: Times Like These...
Taken from the popular chant, this song was inspired by the struggles in Argentina, Africa, Bolivia against corporate globalization, the FTAA and capitalism in general.
