With music by our side to break the color lines
Let's work together, to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me

People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

This is the test, no struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help, your brother do his best
Things are getting worse, we have to make them better
It's time to give a damn, let's work together come on, yeah

People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Say it people, say it different
Say it if you want a better way of life
Say it people, say it different
Say it if you want a better way of life

Everybody sing it
People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite, strength in numbers we can get it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Rhythm nation...
