Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Bass, bass, bass, bass Nasty Three 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? (Sing!) We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world unite Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!) We are a part of the rhythm nation This is the test, no struggle, no progress (lend) 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 now) People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (Sing!) We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world unite Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (sing it up!) We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life? (One time) We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world unite Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time (we can) We are a part of the rhythm nation Bass, bass, bass, bass Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass Bass, bass, bass, bass, nasty (come on) Bass, bass, bass, bass (nasty) (We are the nation) sing it, people, say it, children Sing it if you want a better way of life (We are the nation) sing it, people, say it, children Sing it if you want a better way of life Nasty Nasty Nasty Ba-ba-ba-ba-bass Ba-ba-ba-ba-bass Nas-nasty, nasty, nas-nasty Nas-nasty, nasty, nas-nasty Everybody sing People of the world today, are we looking for a better way of life?
