[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
