Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation Lyrics


Janet Jackson Lyrics

Rhythm Nation Lyrics
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

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
