Rhythm Nation (Extended Version)

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 now

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

People of the world unite

Strength in numbers, we can get it right
