Give The People What The Want Lyrics - Ultimate Collection - Jimmy Cliff

Hey, hey, hey... 

Give the people what they want 

Well, its been said before, the world is a stage 

A different performance with every age. 

Open the history book to any old page 

Bring on the lions and open the cage. 

Give the people what they want 

You gotta give the people what they want 

The more they get, the more they need 

And every time they get harder and harder to please 

The roman promoters really did things right. 

They needed a show that would clearly excite. 

The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight 

Threw the christians to the lions, sold out every night 

Give the people what they want 

You gotta give the people what they want 

The more they get, the more they need 

And every time they get harder and harder to please 

Give em lots of sex, perversion and rape 

Give em lots of violence, and plenty to hate 

Give the people what they want 

Give the people what they want 

When olswald shot kennedy, he was insane 

But still we watch the re-runs again and again 

We all sit glued while the killer takes aim 

Hey mom, there goes a piece of the presidents brain! 

Give the people what they want 

You gotta give the people what they want 

Blow out your brains, and do it right 

Make sure its prime time and on a saturday night. 

You gotta give the people what they want 

You gotta give the people what they want 

Give the people what they want 

Give the people what they want 

Give the people what they want
